Farm Lesson #4: All of this work will be worth it during the winter
Today Cole and I canned 20 pounds of tomatoes from the garden. Eight quart sized jars sit on our counter now, filled with a mixture of Roma, Jersey Devil and San Marzano whole tomatoes. It was a hot, sticky, messy, and somewhat exhausting endeavor, but we keep reminding ourselves how great it will feel in January to make a delicious soup or pasta sauce with vegetables grown right outside our back door. Here's some more pictures!

Wow, all this preserving, growing food, cooking... It's almost like we're back in the 90s... The 1890s that is. Watch and laugh, another great clip from Portlandia:
