    We planted 192 tomato plants this year because we thought a flat only had 24 plants each so we bought 4 flats thinking that would give us 96 plants. Much to our surprise each flat contained 48 plants which made 192 plants. We have given away bags and bags of tomatoes to everyone and anyone who...

    I have a hand crank machine that separates the seeds and skin from the tomatoes without having to blanch them first. It saves me tons of time this way.

    Why can't I find good tomatoes?

    Anna I will copy your recipe down for future use, but what I was looking for was a recipe that could be made in quantity and canned for future use. I made tomato sauce with garlic, onion and basil and if I added something more to it would it serve as a pizza sauce?

    Why can't I find good tomatoes?

    I know how she feels. I have canned so many different tomato recipes that I am running out of new ones. However, if anyone has a tried and true recipe for a good pizza sauce, I would really like to try making it.

    Already thought of that and they will come to pick all that they can carry. We are also planting a lot of peaches and cream corn if it stops raining long enough. Anything that we don't use we donate to local charities and or families.
