Wow.

And, I was content with our recent 4 quarts of pasta sauce start.

The question for us is how much remains in the freezer from 2024? That was a very good tomato year. So much so, that we reduced the # of this year's plants. September's production is still on the vine. The green, before-frost fruit will likely be destined for the same sauce processing.
