My first tomato in the new garden! I have no idea what the variety is. All of my transplants suffered the humiliation of loosing their identities when the grand kids took out their labels...we can only guess what we have out there. I plan on checking the descriptions in the Baker Creek Heirloom Catalogue and making notes. Next year, not only will I have labels, but maps too and photos and the kids will have their own gardening area....Grandma means business!!
First BIG dehydrating job. These are yellow and green zucchini, yellow crook necks, cherry tomatoes and yellow potatoes given to me at the end of Monday's Farmers Market...thought drying them might be fun...it worked out pretty well. I put them in some nice Mason jars...I think drying will be my preferred method of storage for small batches...have some green beans from the garden in the dryer right now...not enough for a meal of fresh.
Jars of dried veggies, yellow storage onions from Bill's seed field, LOTS of eggs from the Girl's, French Breakfast Radishes, White radishes, baby red and golden beets, purple carrots and 3 heirloom tomatoes....a really good week. Tomorrow I drag the canners out: corn, blackberries, elderberries and maybe some nice fresh peaches......
