That is very likely about what I need. Family of 3 with frequent guests of up to 10! I cook A LOT of food especially during the summer when all my babies come over to Aunt Cindi's house! I'll have to give them all extra hugs tomorrow.

We're a family of five (Granny, Auntie, ME, Mom, Sister) and we eat A LOT of maters. AND CAN a lot of maters.

And the chickens love the "squeezins" when you're done, too.

Mine love anything they can get their beaks on in the summer when they see me coming to their fence from the garden. They have about 3/4 acre, and want it ALL!

Yep, mine follow me like little puppies...it's kinda scary sometimes, when ya have like 50 birds stalking you out in the yard...I think sometimes they think they can take me out and get to that garden!!!

Two years ago, I tried the variety "Amish Paste" in addition to my standard Romas. They were later in maturing, but I got a bigger yield.
