I guess that depends on how many mouths to feed lol. I don't can/freeze much because it always seems to take away a lot of the taste but I do freeze bags of plum tomatoes for making sauce throughout the year and also peppers to be used for cooking. I have 25-30 beds and we (3) eat as much as possible during the season and I give a lot away to neighbors/friends. I'm thinking about maybe selling some at the local flea market this summer to pay for my fertilizer, etc. I would not make a box larger than 4x8 feet or it will probably start bowing on you.
