Here is good news!

We are able to can three pints of tomatoes today -- first time since 2002.

Our crops have been wretched for a few years.

UPDATE: And a question for you:

We are growing a nice lot of Italian flat green beans this year, faster than we can eat them.

I would like to can some, and know they'll have to be canned under pressure. Is it my imagination that you should always fill your pressure canner completely with jars? That you should not do just four or five at a time? Or did I make that up?

UPDATE II: Presto says no, it does not have to be full.
