Greenbush Italian.. What a lovely heart tomato! The red fruit was meaty and had a wonderful, fantastic, rich tomato flavor that was more on the acidic side. It is a regular leaf, mid to late mid season variety that has pretty good production, but, the size of the fruit varied for me. I had a couple that were just under one pound, and the rest were medium to small in size, but to be noted, I picked some of the fruit while still green because of all the rain we had been having and the birds were pecking on my tomatoes. I am fermenting a few seeds from the large fruit, and plan on growing it next season. I cooked down the one large fruit and it made a thick, rich paste after cooking only five minutes.. Yummy

I cooked down the large fruit from the Greenbush Italian.. It took five minutes to turn into a thick delicious paste.. Wonderful tomato flavor..

It has been raining the past three day's and the temps have cooled off enough so it feels chilly. I finally had the chance to turn on my oven, so I baked some more loaves of zucchini bread, and some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I use 1/2 oat flour, substituting for half white flour. I grind up the oats into flour with my little ninja blender.

I had some more tomatoes ripen up in the GH, so, I woke up early to do more canning.. With the rain and cooler temps this week, the kitchen does not heat up quite so much.. I don't feel like I am going to melt..

One of our young Bourbon Red turkey's decided to try out it's wings and flew up on the top of the coop roof.

Madame (Marmande) Rouge Garnier. A workhorse of a tomato. I picked these lovely tomatoes off of one plant/vine, and it is still producing. One of my best producers this season.. Great flavor for fresh eating and makes an excellent canner for the fruit has a good ratio of meat and juice.

Nero Di Toscana Kale.. Also known as Lacinato, or Dinosaur Kale. This is an Italian Heirloom from 1885.. The leaves are colored in a beautiful green blue and puckered. Can grow up to 3 feet in my GH. Great flavor that improves after frost. One of my favorites. Very hardy..
