Busy Harvest

I enjoy my time in the garden– more than I enjoy the work in the kitchen.

But of coarse, the work must be done.

Tomatoes have been roasted,

Apples have been turned to Apple Butter, and pie fillings,

Soups have been made for the Winter months,

Herbs have been dried.

Lovely Leeks

The little, tiny Leek seeds were started in the warm greenhouse in Wintery March.

I transplanted out thin blades of seedlings– in May.

I was sure they would wither away in the intense heat of this Summer.

To my surprise, they grew.

Potato Leek Soup for dinner.

Plate Full

I have been documenting all the different heirloom tomato varieties

with my camera this Summer.

It will be a good way to remember them when the snow is flying this Winter,

and I have my nose in the seed catalogs.

After my little photo shoot the other day,

I had this lovely plate sitting on the table.

How do you like to eat your garden fresh tomatoes?

Show and Tell Heirloom Style

I just have to share these gorgeous Heirloom Tomatoes.

Orange Fleshed Purple Smudge, delicious tomato, mild flavor, some fruit does not display the purple like this one. The plant is full of fruit and are displaying the
“purple smudge” . Really good producer!

Ananas Noir or Black Pineapple: beautiful tomato! producing very heavy yields and large fruit. Sweet and slightly smokey.
Creme’ Brulee–My favorite heirloom from this gardening season! Producing heavy yields of a nice size tomato. Carmel colored with red streaks! , and tasty.
