This year we will be planting 20 plus varieties of tomatoes in a rainbow of colors. (I really did try to get every single color I could.) And I tried to do the same with the peppers. I hope we are successful with some red, orange and yellow peppers.
Some other new varieties I picked for this year include: a golden beet, watermelon radish, scallopini yellow summer squash, beira tronchuda (a gorgeous Portuguese Kale), and okra for everybody. I hope you really do try the okra, it's a favorite of mine, since my mother is from Georgia and we grew up eating it. I will post some great recipes!
The new hoop house will contain a variety of tomato called Lola (great for indoor growing), a Shintokiwa Cucumber (long and likes to be trellised), and a French melon called Charentais (a favorite of one of our share members from France).
So here's to another great growing season! Now is the time of year when the image of the farm is free of weeds, bugs and funguses, and overflowing with a bountiful crop.
