The tomato season is in full swing.
We grow a more than 10 varieties of tomatoes: small cherry and grapes, various salad varieties (cut them into quarters and you have a salad), slicers (for your summer one-slice tomato sandwiches), and romas/paste tomatoes (for tomato sauce). We choose varieties for flavour -- unlike the grocery store varieties which are selected for withstanding traveling. Then, we sow the seeds indoors in early April and the plants grow in the greenhouse until late May, when we plant them into the field. Next follows mulching and then 2 months of pruning and trellising. And come August we harvest. It's a lot of work, but we think that fresh, grown-in-the-sun-and-rain-outside tomatoes are worth the effort. We hope you enjoy over the coming weeks!
