FINALLY, those giant clusters of green tomatoes are
beginning to turn red, purple, yellow and pink ! In tomorrow’s share will be both heirlooms as
well as a rainbow pint of cherry tomatoes.
I spent a few hours yesterday wrestling with the staking and trellising
of the tomato plants in the rear high-tunnel that are literally 10 feet tall. I bought 10 foot metal conduit to see if that
works – Ridiculous! I’m calling this the
Magic Tomato House – it reminds both Ron and me of the ride at Epcot – The Future
of Food!
Super cute pic of Garden Pixie Joyce who is, as always, a
tremendous help at the farm! She made a
beeline for the sunflowers blooming in the center of the spring field for her
flower this week.
Farm Food Favorite: Sauteed
Pattypans with Tomato Sauce!
Slice into strips and sautee with garlic and olive oil. In a separate pan cook tomatoes, garlic and
basil and add sauce to top of pattypans.
A customer at market last Saturday said she loves to grill pattypans –
again slice into strips and brush will olive oil and herbs. Enjoy!
I will see you all tomorrow at the CSA pickup from 10-12 at Fromage. Please bring a bag for your goodies.
Until next week…
