I'm wondering if I'm the only one hooked on canning. I expanded my gardens this year and planted lots more veggies then I usually would to be able to can some food. As the gardens grew and began to put out fruit I'm finding myself canning everything I can. I've been harvesting everything from...

I planted cherokee purple this year and most of mine are that size too, and they are also splitting. I'll put up with the splitting because the the tastiest tomatoes I've ever eaten! I'll never go without them again! All the other types I've planted haven't done so well. This year is also the...

Like Hoodat says, a watched pot never boils! I have 28 tomato plants and planted them at 2 week intervals to get a steady supply. I've been picking the first plants harvest for about two weeks now, not quite enough for mayor canning yet but I'm enjoying very tasty fruit, hope the rest all come...

All I can say is wow! How are you going to keep them?

As far as green beans go, I pick them and bring them in, rinse them and put them in a bowl covered with water till the weekend, haven't had a problem with them getting soft or limp yet... :)
