The past two days were dedicated to sowing my remaining tomato seeds. Lots of heirlooms...78 or 79 varieties...something like that. At least 16 cherry tomato varieties -- including SunGold, my first-ever foray into hybrid tomatoes. Lots of demand last year for SunGolds, though.
I also sowed some exotic peppers, many courtesy of Tim Stark, the Tomato Man AND the "Peppamon". It's true.
So, yes, the farm is even more part time than usual, but heirlooms and garlic will be just as available as ever before, if not more. And I'm still going to try to keep growing rhubarb, asparagus, cardoons (that was fun last year) and anything else I can handle.
The warmer it gets, the more I'm hating not being able to be around the farm all summer! But I'll get over it...I'll be logging plenty of hours there, for sure.
More tomorrow...with photos. Maybe.
