TOMATOES F\/P  The paste (aka roma, aka sauce-making types) are producing well.  The first round of red tomatoes is on its way out, with another planting about ready to kick in.  The heirlooms keep coming in all their rainbow of colors.  We’ve had a nice flush of green-when-ripe heirlooms and I’m separating them for you so that you know that you can eat them even though they are green.<\/p>\n

EGGPLANT F  Tom has several suggestions for enjoying your eggplant. <\/p>\n

RED POTATOES F\/P<\/p>\n

GARLIC F\/P <\/p>\n

SWEET PEPPERS F  Just one or two this week.  We are waiting to pick them until they are ripe, so expect one or two for the next month or so.<\/p>\n

SUMMER SQUASH P  A choice of yellow squash or zucchini varieties.<\/p>\n

SALSA PACK P <\/p>\n

RED ONIONS F <\/p>\n

HERB CHOICE F  Basil, dried herbs or hot peppers.<\/p>\n

NEXT WEEK:  Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, summer squash, red onions and carrots.<\/p>\n

FARM REPORT:<\/p>\n

A couple of cooler days and a bit of rain made good conditions for transplanting more broccoli and cabbage. <\/p>\n

If you saw my post from two weeks ago (we<\/span><\/span>ek 12 blog<\/a>) then you know their is a little nest in one of our tomato plants.  Well, the eggs have hatched.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

On Monday momma (or daddy?) bird was annoyed at our presence as we picked the tomatoes.  She could be seen flitting around the patch with a bug in her mouth impatiently waiting for us to go away so that she could feed her new babies.  I still am not completely sure what species of bird, but the babies (I count two but there may be more under all the downy fluff.)<\/p>\n

They aren’t the only birds on the farm that appreciate tomato plants.  Our hens have been happily snacking on a few spoiled tomatoes.  On this particular day it looked like the chickens like salsa as much as we humans.<\/p>\n
