So this is and side line business now. The job over at your house is done with Curt Gilmore with 35 hours of labor at 20 cents per hr. I have nearly 50 quarts of tomatoes up. But my cans are not a full as thay were last year. I have a couple of bushel baskets of empty can's left. I dident get any berries up at all.
