Tomato Canning

I gave up on getting enough tomatoes from my own garden to make salsa, spaghetti sauce, and canned tomatoes, so Tuesday I stopped by a vegetable stand and bought a box of "seconds" tomatoes.  These are tomatoes that aren't quite perfect enough to be sold to the grocery stores but are fine for cooking/canning.  The box yielded 4 quarts of canned tomatoes and 8 pints of salsa.  Not bad.  I'm going back for more next week. 

And, next year, I'm taking a vacation from growing tomatoes.
