This year it's total tomato overkill in my garden - 75 plants in the greenhouse, 120 outside. 10+ cultivars

Does your household use that much tomato goods through the year? Do you sell/ give away a good portion of that?

We do use quite a bit - when you have a lot of it and it's delicious you don't second guess yourself when using it.

Plus share with family and friends.

No OP but we are a family of five. We grow a lot of our own and preserve it. We grow around 400 tomato plants a year. Cherry tomatoes and san Marzano paste as well as some favorite hierlooms. We make all our own pasta sauce, tomato paste, salsa, bruschetta, canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, pizza sauce, ketchup, sun dried tomatoes and whatever else I am forgetting. We use all our tomatoes in a year. Which is easily several hundred pounds.
