I Planted, I Harvested, I Canned

Yesterday, I took these:




And made this:


Lessons learned:
-It takes more tomatoes than one thinks to fill up canning jars
-And each step takes longer than one thinks it will
-With some practice, I think I can become a canning pro
-Once again, I realize how much work my mom put into things that through my childhood eyes didn't seem like a big deal (thanks for manning the canning hotline, Mom)
-For my first time solo-canning, I think I did pretty well!

Nice work!

Yeah, tomatoes are deceptive when you take them from the garden to the jars.

That is so fantastic! I love canning tomatoes. This year we had a horrible crop and didn't can any. Luckily, I have enough jars to get me through the winter. Hopefully, next summer will be a bumper crop.
You are amazing!
