« Heading into September...with fewer tomatoes | Main | Rotten Eggs »

Summer's winding down but the garden's still going!

Week of aug 23 share


More Tomatoes!  Two different varieties of cherry tomatoes, Celebrity, New Girl and Big Boy.  Also you'll find another Brandywine (pinkish-red).   Also try the sauce, plum-type tomatoes known as San Marzano.  Don't miss out making sauce with these sought-after tomatoes!  Or freeze them for later.

Bell peppers--  the mini-apple pepper red variety and standard green peppers

More purple- we have included both more Black Beauty (the standard eggplant) and a few more smaller Fairytale eggplants.

Another green bean variety - This is a pole bean version of the Kentucky Blue beans.  This seemed to be a little sweeter than the other Kentucky blues.

Greens- It's been a while since you've had some greens, so here's some kale (same variety you had several weeks ago).  It goes great in soups and stews and is packed with vitamins!

Hot Hot Hot!  A variety of Hot Peppers are in the green container..  See the picture below to identify: (from left to right) Poblano, anaheim, jalapeno, cherry bomb (VERY hot) and banana pepper.
