Wild Winds Fall...

August flavors

Heirloom tomatoes are here!  This is a hefty Gold Medal, a juicy sweet bicolor tomato, and one of our favs.

Know what this is?  It's corn smut, a fungus growing on one of our ears.  Weird, and it makes me gag to look at it (though it is a delicacy in Latin cooking)!

Beastly looking, heavenly tasting.

Suzy, our faithful pickup friend, sets out the delicious goods (and tries not to eat them all herself).

 

 

 

 

summer photos

Rolling out mulch on the winter squash section - we used end rolls left over from the Erie Times News.

 Our favorite round zucchini - "Rond de Nice."

 Our pollinator friends have been very active and happy in our squash, cucumber, tomato, pepper, and bean flowers.

Garlic curing in our makeshift tunnel. : )

Before: 2nd week of June, After: last week of July

summer plantings

These photos are a few weeks old - it's hard to keep up with the blog during these busy days!
