We're away on vacation now, and can only imagine what the vines will look like when we return! we did a bunch of tomatoes a couple of years ago (photo at my newish bread blog); two dozen more jars a couple of weeks ago, also in central Ohio.

Way to go! I have been freezing rather than canning (I think I will put off canning and dehydrating until next year), and yes it is a ton of work - but think of all the free time we'll have in the winter! No farmer's markets to run to (*sniff*), piles of put-up produce just waiting to be eaten... Wow, what an accomplishment! Way to go!

You'll definitely be glad you did it come winter, especially on those really cold days when you don't want to head out to the grocery store and realize, hey! I can grab a jar from the pantry! :-) I'll warn you, though... once you get through a winter enjoying the fruits of your summer labor, you may be hooked. And you might just end up canning tomatoes again next year. Not that I'm saying that's a bad thing..... Congratulations on getting so much done!
