Planting Fall Tomatoes
The fall round of tomatoes we started in the greenhouse back in August was transplanted in the high tunnel this week! The tunnel will offer protection from excess moisture which can lead to issues with disease. Once the temperatures start cooling down, the tunnel will also keep our plants nice and warm. We’re growing two different cherry tomato varieties (Sungold and Cherry Bomb) and one slicer (Early Girl) this fall. We hope you’re looking forward to the first harvest as much as we are!
Eggplant is back in season at the Farm Stand after a brief lull between successions. We’re harvesting an Asian variety which is more slender and oblong in shape compared to its Italian counterparts. We love eggplant due to its versatility in the kitchen and ability to soak up flavors like a sponge. For a quick and easy way to enjoy several of our veggies that are currently in season, we highly recommend a stir-fry! Here’s a recipe to lend some culinary inspiration.
In Season at the Farm Stand: Korean Melons, Cucumbers, Zucchini (limited), Asian Eggplant, Roselle Greens, Okra, and Long Beans.
Coming Soon: Baby Butternuts
