Here's a garden update. The first two 4" X 8" boxes have about 15 varieties of heirloom tomatoes. There has been an abundance of fruit all with that "umami" tomato goodness. We have small yellow "Sun Golds" that are out of this world, red pear, Italian plum a variety of blacks that are really deep purple and a range of large slicing tomatoes. We've been making some interesting salads with most ingredients from the garden. Here's one that has been particularly good so it made the table a couple nights in a row.
Tomato Medley Salad:
All varieties from the garden, sliced or whole (small tomatoes) arranged on a serving platter. Dress with a fruity extra virgin olive oil kosher salt and fresh cracked peeper.
Top with arugula salad dressed with same as above but with a dash of balsamic, fig or pomegranate vinegar.
From the herb garden do a rough chop of Italian Parsley, Basil leaves and young bunching onions. Drizzle with EVOO. Adjust salt and pepper. Finish with bits or slices of your favorite chèvre or blue cheese...and enjoy!
