Tour!

Thanks to everyone who made it out to the Tomato Festival on Sunday. The crowd was a little smaller than expected- but since it was just Paul and myself to run everything, it was probably better that way.

For those who didn’t make it out, we let everyone into the raspberry and strawberry patches to pick, pick pick! There was also a lot of basil to be harvested, and almost everyone who wanted went home with enough basil for a big batch of pesto!

From the tomato tasting we learned that “Black Prince” (a black tomato) was the favorite. Last year it was Black fro Tula, another obviously dark variety- so there must be something special about the deep rich colors.

Some other notables were Green Zebra, Garden Peach and Red Brandywine!  We’ll use the information about the likes and dislikes of the varieties to choose what we grow next year.
