It takes a lot of work to plant 40+ tomatoes and it took us into the night. I learned a lesson about tomatoes last year, which was it is hard to can 20-50# of tomatoes at a time. So I planted Early Girls for the early season, Roma's & Carnival for the mid season harvest and Brandywine and Beefsteak for the late harvest. I also planted Roma's specifically so I could make paste out of them for spaghetti sauce. My goal this year to have enough spaghetti sauce, diced tomatoes and paste. I am also going to try to save my tomato seeds so I can start my own tomatoes next year. I hope you enjoy your tomatoes this year.

That's alot of tomatoes - good idea to stagger the harvest times tho - I plan on making lots of salsa and putting up some frozen ones for spagetti sauce.
