Hey- we're back! Sorry for the long hiatus, but our schedule has been crazy. Among other things, we recently moved to a wonderful unincorporated area of Orange County where we enjoy the vocal stylings of our neighbors' roosters and peacocks. But what we enjoy the most is having the space to plant our very own veggie garden - can't get more local than that.
Among the first plants to go in were heirloom tomatoes and jalapeno peppers. When it comes to heirloom tomatoes, our friend Farmer Bruce is the go-to guy for a lucky few of his friends and relatives. If past years are any indication, we are set for an amazing crop. especially now that we can plant them in the ground instead of containers. They went in yesterday, and now we begin the expectant excitement that all gardeners know so well. C'mon August!
By the way, if you haven't tried heirloom tomatoes, we guarantee that once you do you will never think of tomatoes in the same way again. For some info on heirloom vegetables, take a look at these links:
