At the farmer's market each week, our table has been overflowing with produce. The sheer amount of food, not to mention the quality of food, that comes from our little 3.5 acres makes me wonder what we all could produce in our own backyards! (And encourages me to obnoxiously plug local food to everyone I meet). Here's a closer look at some of our personality-filled summer crops:
asian eggplant: milder, sweeter, and cuter than the italian (in my view)
okra: worth every itchy harvest
sugar baby watermelons:
our tomatoes: beefsteak, cherokee purple and pink ladies all in a row
ground cherries: an old-timey gardener's treat that tastes like a cherry tomato pie
we're celebrating "summer on the farm" this weekend. but our summer is decidedly less summery right now. c'moooon 'maters!
