     good to hear.   
      
     today was my 2nd picking of tomatoes, 4 buckets   
   (about 100lbs) from 9 plants, with an extra half   
   bucket of discards (fruits damaged from raccoons   
   and ones on the ground or other issues i don't   
   want to deal with).   
      
     will be canning some of them this evening.   
      
     normal conversion rate is about 3lbs per quart.
