Another rainy day...
I can't complain because we had some nice, bright and sunny days. Our tomatoes that we've planted have almost doubled in size. This weekend we will see if we can get them staked, which may or may not happen depending on the weather. In the meantime, it is nice to have a little break from the farm.
I also was given a large number of other heirloom tomato plants that will have a long and happy life at Heritage Hill Farm. As you may know, I am an absolute nut about heirloom tomatoes. I can't wait until they are ready and they all seem to have their own personalities- interesting stories, flavors, and colors that really highlight certain dishes.
These are a handful of the ones we have planted this year...that we've never grown before.
I can't wait to can pizza sauces, salsa's, and enjoy cooking with these in general... I think you would too!
