Tomatoes!

I've been talking all season about how early all the crops are this year. Hot, dry weather has allowed everyting mature very quickly this year. And, there was no late frost to kill off early plantings. Normally, we do not start harvesting tomatoes until mid August. Last year's cool temps kept us from harvesting tomatoes until Sept. That means this years crop is almost two months ahead of last year's late harvest!

Over the next couple of weeks I will post entries about each of the different varieties of tomatoes we grow at One Love Farm. We have several new heirloom varieties this year. Above is a picture of three of them, Black Cherry, Oxheart and Orange Blossom.
