popping cherry tomatoes like they're candy - they're sure sweet enough!

These are just a few of the things we do with our summer tomatoes, but the plants are producing faster than we can keep up with.  My dining room table is covered in Romas, Cherries, and Slicing tomatoes!  We have pounds and pounds of them.   It's time to break out the mason jars and get to canning some homemade spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, and maybe we'll even make up some ketchup this year! It's a bountiful blessing, but it's lots of work!  I wish you all could come over for a canning party.  It sure would make the work seem a lot less like work!

How about you?  Do you have a garden?  What did you plant this year?

Today I'm sharing with my friend Beth and her brand new link up - Three Word Wednesday.  My three words are, Too Many Tomatoes!
