We had some horrible weather over the weekend with plenty of rain and also some strong winds that knocked down a few rows of the taller tomatoes. Good news is the vines are very tough and once we stand them back up, they are usually fine with minimal damage. We are picking a good bit of peppers and eggplant at the moment, and it shouldn't be long until we are picking a good bit of heirloom and creole tomatoes for your boxes. Just hoping we don't get too much more rain as it could really put a dent in our harvest and quality.
