Tomato progress

Its been a cool season and tomatoes are a little bit behind, but we're almost there and to wait for the local tomatoes vs. the imported ones is certainly worth the wait!!! There is nothing worse than a shipped non ripe hybrid variety with tough skin and little taste and nothing better than an organic heirloom tomato grown locally to vine ripened perfection. We will have a few tomatoes this week for sampling and a full array next week.

Here are some photos of where we are with our organic heirloom crop.

This is Pompeii, quite possibly the best paste tomato there is (in my opinion)



Black Cherry ready to start cranking out some fruits



Lots of flowers



Tons of fruits right on the brink of ripening



Not to change the subject but what better to go with tomatoes than basil! The only thing we need to do now is make some fresh organic homemade Mozzerella!!!



3 kinds of Chinese Yard Long Beans are up and running look for those in a couple weeks






Tendercrisp Celery also nearing perfection, and don't forget that celery is a negative calorie snack; you burn more calories eating it than it has in it!



Here are 10 varieties of specialty eggplant, I can't wait for these. Now they are flowering look for them in a couple of weeks



We'll have tons of heirloom Squash this week, I just harvested a basket that was almost too heavy to carry of dark green, yellow, striped and white green they look fantastic!



Squash Flowers



Watermelons! Tons of them coming along, this is VERY exiting! Several heirloom varieties.



Onions are harvested, we'll have Vidalia and Super Sweet this week! Great to saute with our Squash!
