Truly Tomato Time

Main Season Harvest #12 (Week B) should include cantaloupe, heirloom tomatoes, field tomatoes, lettuce, eggplant, sweet peppers, hot peppers, okra, scallions, onions, garlic, carrots, beets, zucchini, cucumbers, and herbs. Some items will be a choice. U-pick should include edamame, yellow snap beans, husk cherries, tomatillos, cherry/grape tomatoes, flowers, blackberries, and herbs.

A brief note about pick up room herbs: basil on the farm is succumbing to seasonal basil downy mildew and pretty soon will be absent until next summer; quantities of dill and cilantro will probably be limited for a couple weeks due to erratic germination from the heat and humidity; and parsley won't be available again until this fall. Thai basil and Italian dandelion should be available this week in the pick up room, plus the herbs in the herb garden for U-Pick.
