Hi I am so glad to see this and got me so interesting since my first time making salsa canning jar and I passed taste good and I am having problem with tomatoes plants it won’t come out green tomatoes because of hot ?? I lived in Florida and found out the best temp is 87 day time and night time would be somewhere 70 to 75 and my tomatoes plants keep so high which its beefsteak tomatoes and I pulled out the most on my backyard and will start using ROMA plum cuz best for salsa correct ?? so I am going to wait till the weather become cooler and start again it sure wasting my time since I am learning what you think do I something wrong about the tomatoes plants when yellow flower coming out few days it become brown like DEAD because of hot over 90 degree is that right ? let me know I enjoyed watched your video , Brett

(I feel I comment a lot on your posts lately – that’s just because you write so many things that catch my eye! )

Yeah, this is great info! And um…for some reason, my 24 tomato plants are NOT putting out like they should be! I am trying to keep 2 of them from dying out…and the rest? Well, it’s just here-and-there tomatoes. I thought several weeks ago that I’d be up to my eyeballs in tomatoes and canning some every single day. So what’s wrong? *Sigh!

These videos are useful!

If you are looking for more help on canning and preserving I made a good list of books on the subject – my favorites:

Jamie Oliver also occasionally has preserving tips on his show which is on the food network at some ungodly early hour… I tivo it…
