Have we got tomatoes! This year we needed to scale back, but we didn't scrimp on the tomatoes. We planted over 45 tomatoes, and still planting, which is a huge number for the amount of shares we have this year. Can you tell we love tomatoes?
Usually we start providing tomatoes the beginning of August, but this year we were 3 weeks early. A nice surprise for our share holders. New for us this year are Valencia, Brandywine and German Striped. All heirlooms, all very good. Our latest entries are Great White, Pineapple and Japanese Black Crim. We seeded these late and figured, what the heck, we'll plant them and see if we get late tomatoes this year. (We usually have tomatoes well into October/November.)
We also rebuilt the farm, hence the scale back, and are farming using somewhat different methods. We weren't sure of our production, being this was fairly new and different for us, but we are happy to report, and with much success, that the plants and we, are very happy with the outcome. We still grow organically, without pesticides, and are now producing our own compost. Our goal is to be a more sustainable farm.
Next year should prove to be even better, as we expand. The need for quality veggies is great in our community and we'd like to continue to provide our veggies and services.
