Ditto. I forgot all about the blight. What I remember are the gorgeous vegetables, the interesting herbs, and the wealth of ideas. I came home with a container of tomatoes and peppers, but I didn't buy one of the beautiful squashes because I don't have a place to put it.
The first photo is an assortment of tomatoes, mostly cherry and julienne varieties. The second photo is an assortment of Caribbean seasoning peppers. Had to photograph them before eating any! |

Dry farming is limited to coastal farms with lots of fog.
We irrigate. Our main problem is that we have not been rotating long enough between tomato plantings (imagine that). |

Very nice photos! You can thank "Boutique Tomatoes" for the seasoning peppers. He sent me the seeds.
