Tomato Sauce, Salsa, Tomato-Basil Pizza, Roasted Tomatoes, Caprese Salad, TOMATOES-A-PLENTY!
Don’t you wish our window of fresh tomato-picking could go a wee bit longer? We wait and wait for tiny seeds to germinate in April, then transplant the seedlings into the garden when the soil warms, watch for buds in June, spy green fruit turn to red (or yellow or orange or purple…)in August to FINALLY being able to release them from their vines now! Soon the waiting game will begin again. Enjoy while you can!

Thankfully, we only found two cobs with this interesting fungus.

8/31/16 Andersen Windows Corporation Volunteers
When the kids go back to school, we rely on corporate volunteers to help us continue the harvest. I forget just how much work a group of adults can accomplish! Thanks for helping to pull some weeds and harvest 79 pounds of food!

My in-laws came out to the garden to see where they can find me most days in the summer. John was particularly fond of the pepper varieties! He is very excited to try some extra special, extra spicy salsa thanks to Bob.
