Veggies, week 10
Aug. 13th, 2002 06:46 pmThanks again to Queue for taking week 9, and the pictures thereof.
This week, there was a box, fully packed, and a bag. Tons of stuff, including:
a big bunch of red mustard greens
a big bunch of multi-colored swiss chard
a big bunch of "some kind of choi," an Asian green of some sort (pac choi, perhaps)
a medium head of a green lettuce
a medium head of red-leaf lettuce
a big bunch (10) of red radishes, with their greens
a thin light purple Asian eggplant
a big regular dark purple eggplant
9 tomatoes, of a variety of shades, including a yellow one, and some purplish ones
4 green peppers, a couple just starting to turn colors
a cucumber
a wow-it-smells-ripe-right-now cantaloupe
Lots of loot... hope I get through it all....
Porch update: the plants are thirsty in this hot, humid weather. Nothing much else of interest.
[Addendum 8/14: the farm newsletter lists some of the kinds of heirloom tomatoes we're getting: black krim ("greenish-black shoulders and a smoky purple-red body color"), great white (aka white wonder, which is actually a light yellow tomato), carmello, german johnson, and valencia (an orange kind). The seeds came from a variety of sources.]
