I canned nearly 160 quarts of tomatoes last week.

I did about 60 quarts of 'maters this year and about that many of green beans (pink half runners, aka peanut beans). Lots of corn in the freezer (silver queen white corn and peaches and cream bicolor) and put lots of okra in the freezer this year, too. Still getting a lot of okra now, and a few tomatoes, but the main focus this week is apples and pears. I picked 5, 5 gallon buckets full of apples yesterday. Some of them are sliced and are being dried for hiking snacks and the rest will go into cider. Should have some black walnuts soon, too. I'm hoping I'll finish my greenhouse this week so I can get some winter crops going. The greenhouse is a kit and it's been like putting a giant erector set together.....
