Storage: onions, cucumbers, and squash store in the fridge. Tomatoes can stay on the counter but if you're going to wait a few days to eat them and your kitchen is warm, put them in the fridge.
We are in the heart of tomato season. If you want an extra tomato or 2 please help yourself. If you want tomatoes to can, please email me and we'll arrange it. A 20 pound box of tomatoes for CSA members
And if you want a few hot peppers for the week, please grab them!
With all the tomatoes in your box, its the perfect time for tomato pie or tomato soup. The small yellow tomatoes are "garden peach" and will ripen a bit more to all pale yellow with a little pink blush on the blossom end. The larger golden ones are yellow brandywine. The red ones are celebrity. In the recipe below, I substitute torpedo onions for vidalia.
Tomato Pie Recipe
The cabbage is a little spicy because of the serious heat we've been having. The spice goes away in cooking.
We have been enjoying this simple salad almost daily at the farm.
