Here are some of the varieties of extra tomato plants I have!

I will be at Frankenmuth’s Farmers Market this Saturday with them if they haven’t been claimed by then!

Rose de Berne I grew last year and when you cut her open it is the deepest red I’ve seen in a tomato!

I have a few of them for sale! It’s not too late to plant!

“Rose De Berne is a prized heirloom tomato from Switzerland, widely celebrated as the "Brandywine of Europe". Famous for its exceptional balance of sweetness and acidity, it produces flawless, rosy-pink 4 to 8-ounce fruits that are crack-resistant and perfect for slicing or fresh eating” - Organic High Mowing Seeds

Made some pesto! 🌿

Pesto is pretty much made using any herb—traditionally basil—then pairing it with nuts (usually pine nuts), Parmesan cheese, and olive oil.

For this batch, I used black walnuts we harvested last fall and garlic scapes fresh from the garden! 😍

One of my favorite things about pesto is how versatile it is. Now I’m torn between:

🍝 Tossing it with some pasta
🍕 Using it as a base for homemade pizza
🥗 Mixing it into a chicken salad

They all sound delicious, and I can’t decide! 🤔

Which one should I choose??

Have you gotten in your tomato plants yet?? It’s still not too late! I will be seeding my fall tomato plants later this week.

We have a few varieties of heirloom slicing, beefsteak and cherry tomato plants for sale!! $3 or 2 for $5

They are all indeterminate except the Ace 55.
Let me know if you’re interested!

We have lots of garlic scapes available!!

What are garlic scapes, you may ask?

They are the curly tops that grow out of hardneck garlic plants. We remove them so the garlic bulbs can put more energy into growing nice and big underground.

Do you like garlic? Do you like asparagus? Then you’ll probably love garlic scapes! They have a delicious mild garlic flavor with a hint of asparagus—a combination that’s hard to beat.

They’re incredibly versatile too! Grill them, sauté them, toss them into a stir fry, add them to an omelet, or blend them into a fresh pesto. They also make a great addition to soups, roasted vegetables, and pasta dishes.

Have you ever tried garlic scapes before? What’s your favorite way to use them?

Some pics of how the farm is shaping up this year! 🌱

One thing we’re especially excited about is that the w**d pressure seems so much lower than it was during our first year last season. 🎉 What a difference that makes!

We’ve gotten most of our tomatoes planted, and we also have peppers, basil, chamomile, oregano, onions, and garlic growing. There are even a few marigolds planted where the cucumbers will be going soon. 🌼🥒

We’re also making progress with infrastructure—irrigation is now installed for a couple of our beds, which should make watering a little easier as summer heats up.

It’s been a lot of hard work, and this farm truly wouldn’t happen without every member of our family pitching in. We’re tired, a little sore, and incredibly grateful to see everything coming together. ❤️

Thanks for following along on this journey with us. We can’t wait to see what this growing season brings!

It’s strawberry season! 🍓 Fresh berries are so delicious! Today was our first big harvest! 😍

We’re freezing most of these beauties to save for a future jam session. Not the music type of “jam.” 😂

The timing is perfect too, because we’re down to our last jar of wild black raspberry jam from last season. There’s something so satisfying about opening a jar in the middle of winter and tasting a little bit of summer.

What’s your favorite flavor of homemade jam? 🍓🫐🍑

The new cucumber plants are already sprouting! Had some amazing ladies over last week to help seed these!

I will reseed these and plant new cucumbers every 2 weeks during the season pulling the old unproductive ones out after a month and putting new ones in its place. :)
