These black plum tomatoes are even more beautiful in real life. I was unable to capture the deep emerald green under the line of seeds. They’re a stunning addition to any salad. And, the flavor is unbelievable. It would be a shame to lose that rich tomato flavor. So, this […]
Yellow Heirloom Cherry Tomato The first ripe tomatoes never made it through the back door. We popped them in our mouth …straight off the vine. That’s one of the benefits of a chemical free back yard garden. You know for a fact that there isn’t a single chemical […]
My mother is the cooking challenged member of our family. There are two stories that have haunted her life. One story involves nearly burning the house down as she let water boil completely down… melting an aluminum pan to the burner. She effectively destroyed both pan and stove. The stench […]

The radishes are finally big enough to eat! We’ve seen cream, pink, red & white, deep red, and red with darker red stripes. But, they all taste the same… spicy. Not just a little bit spicy, oh no, they’re fire breathing, eye watering, mouth full of wasabi HOT. A result […]
Mr Stripey doesn’t like the heat. Last year we had over 20 huge tomatoes. This year? We’ve seen about 10 tomatoes on the same number of plants. And, several of those 10 weren’t pretty. So, it would be a crime not to showcase the handful of gorgeous tomatoes […] |
