Nice pics!

Thanks! Between sorting according to ripeness, seed saving and photographing today, it was well into the afternoon before I even made it out to the garden...only to find more tomatoes that needed picking, weighing, sorting, etc.! I haven't found the time to can anything yet, but I'm not going to be able to put it off much longer- the freezers are full of blueberries, peas, strawberries, etc.
A lot of the tomatoes so far are so mealy that I can't even taste them- do they have any value in sauce or do they just ruin it? So far they're just being added to the compost pile. The varieties that are producing edible tomatoes are shooting to the top of this year's fave list.
