Once upon a time (uh, about 15 or 16 years ago), I had a brain fart and 
planted SIXTEEN Roma plants. Late August, I was awash in tomatoes! I canned 
tomato sauce and stewed tomatoes, and they lasted through January. My older 
daughter even remembers how good they were. She also remembers playing 
outside all day for days on end because our apartment (upstairs, natch) was 
unbearably hot and steamy from all the canning. I remember that too, though 
I try to forget...
