I don't have a huge operation like Bobert, but I'm loaded up with tomatoes right now.

This is the busy window sill and counter staging area.

This is what my fridge looks like this evening.

I'll be canning tomorrow and again on Saturday. A few jars here, a few jars there, and it adds up. I didn't go out and pick again this evening, but there were quite a few, so I expect another gallon at least by noon. I pick a couple of times a day, they ripen so fast. I bring them in when they start turning pink to beat some of the birds and other predators. They'll be fully ripe out there in the morning so I hope I don't have an overnight attack. I put BT on the corn and tomatoes and eggplant after the sun went down, that should help.
