    Harvested & Dormant

    Everything is harvested and/or dormant. My garden is covered in a nice layer of straw. I’m thinking of ditching the raised beds next year, at least until I rototill everything. I started out two seasons ago with some of the sandiest, useless soil ever. I’m proud to say that IR...

    Lovely new portraits are up. So far the winners in taste for sandwiches include Kolea (OMG – sweet!), Silvery Fir, and Creole (bursting with flavor). Red Cushion is T.A.R.T. Tastes like a spoonful of tomato paste. Orange King is also tart, or at least very assertive. Tomate nice flavor. N...

    Reviews of Tasty Tomatoes part 1

    Tomato 'Red Cushion' and Tomato 'Silvery Fir Tree'
    Red Cushion: Red, slightly bigger than a ping pong ball. Acidic, tart, lots of flavor, not many seeds/pulp, tough skin. Good sauce/canner. Silver Fir Tree: Red, kiwi sized. Flavorful, light acid. Tasty sandwich tomato.

    Tomato Porn

    Finally finished uploading various portraits from my tomato plants. Not every plant is producing fruit yet, but I suspect I’ll be up to my armpits in tomatoes by the 4th of July.

    Up & running

    My organic garden is now at full steam ahead. Last weekend I planted the last few tomatoes (I know – like I didn’t have a ton already) and the last seeds of things I wanted to start (like another round of spinach). So far I’ve been able to harvest three batches of some of the ...
