Day 84: Time for another round of R&R's. Didn't need to do the oddball tomato, as that one was just cleaned a few days back. The front plant on the right, picture below, is supposed to be an AG Golden Harvest Cherry Tomato and the 2 in the back should be AG Heirloom Cherry Tomato plants. If you ask me, it looks like I have 3 of the same plant? Ah, well, at least everyone is making tomatoes!  |

It looks like they got the same seeds in all three pods. The fruit of the yellow ones are definitely supposed to be yellow.
But as Wendy said, they are beautiful plants!

Well, at least for me, it doesn't make them unusable or something! Once upon a time, a friend of mine made an apple pie. Her husband, smart guy that he is, told her, it is different, but I like it. She accidentally used Chili Powder instead of Cinnamon. LOL. Don't know why the tomatoes made me think of that.  |

Day 90: Had the first taste of the Cherry Tomatoes. Undoubtedly, the best cherry tomatoes we've ever tasted!! Used them on a pita sandwich. Yummy!

What a great harvest. Will you be letting any change over to red?

What a great harvest. Will you be letting any change over to red? I suppose if they are so inclined? I just lifted them and if they felt like releasing, I took it. Jalapenos are pretty much my go-to pepper. The lilacs may be nice in a stir-fry or other Asian inspired dish. Bells are probably destined for pizza or salad.  |

The remaining gardens, cherry tomatoes, peppers and herbs, got their 112 day R&R, root trim, decks cleaned and trimming, as needed. Fresh water, nutes and pump test. Glad we've made the pump test a part of the routine as, somehow, the top farm's connection for pump & water level box got disconnected in the process. So, the pump test saved the day.  |

Day 119 in the Pepper Garden... Jalapenos are abundant. I'm considering doing a quick pickle of a jarful...  The Lilac peppers aren't many and they are small, but beautiful...  But, check out the AG Bell peppers. One is large and clearly turning red now, but, growing on that same plant is a lilac too! Go figure...  |

Peppers are some of the most beautiful and interesting things to grow in the AGs, I think.
And they often sneak a surprise in.

Tomatoes got a big pruning, yesterday. They seem to have gotten a second growth spurt and making lots of new tomatoes! They looked like they could benefit from a cleanup, even though their next R&R was a week away. I thought I best get some more tomatoes before it is time to end this Farm and leave for the beach. |

Wow! Your trim pile looks as dramatic as mine!
Hoping you get lots of tomatoes before you leave!

Looks like you are a psychic! The tomatoes are already starting to turn to red! I'll likely have a good crop soon and maybe even some to take camping! |

Ended the herb garden today. Yesterday, I harvest thyme and basil. Put some basil and all thyme in the freezer. Balance of basil went into the dehydrator and the rosemary moved into the Bounty Basil garden. The rosemary is unimpressive. Will consider a different kind, next time. Also ended the pepper garden. Harvested lots and just closed it down. Did an R&R for the tomatoes and then moved them up to the top Farm24+ next to the lettuce. So, the bottom Farm24+ is now off for the summer. |
