 CS> Sounds good!  We have about 25 tomatoes cropping in the next 2 weeks.
 CS> Lots of stuff doing very well in the container garden!

I've done that before. I've also skinned them with boiling water when
fresh. Let them sit in the water a few minutes, drain, and skin. I'll
cut them into samller pieces, good for making salsa and freeze them in
boxes with no added water. When I thaw them, I'll drain off the water
and the salsa (or sauce) will cook down thicker in less time.
