Missed a market…

Wondering if there were any customers in Bainbridge Island  searching for me today, as I didn’t vend at that market.  I felt that this weeks tomato harvest was a bit too small to divide.  We keep a lot back from the markets in order to give our CSA the best of our efforts.  I look forward to the year that we’re working along side others farming.  After re-reading the blog about the Tomato Taste Off, I am sorry to say that I didn’t state that I wish I would of had more time to do a better job with the contest.  A bit bummed on how it went down, this year has been a very busy one for us.  Today our sales in Poulsbo jumped up quite a bit from last week.  Many market vendors and workers purchased from us today.  It’s inspiring to be apart of a such a wonderful market and community. 

Side thought.  The tomatoes are leaving us real soon.  Lots of plants down and out.  All of our outside tomatoes are done.  Dispite the nice growth of the plants, their health turned south during my time away on tour.  The pacific northwest,  I was told received lots of rains earlier this month along with low nighttime temperatures.  I got home to diseased plants but not before we finished up a fifth or sixth round of harvesting off of some of the heirloom varieties.
