Cherry tomatoes and pear picking

Pictures of our table at last weeks market at Valley City.



It is pear picking time! Here at BAFarm this is how we pick our pears, no ladder required. Believe it or not I am actually afraid of heights.



Below are three of the heirloom cherry tomatoes that we currently have available in our heirloom cherry tomato mix.

Vegetable Pictures

Just thought I would take some pictures of some of the things we have available. Here they are:

Picture of some of the different kinds of eggplant we have available this year. We will also have some other types available, and will have to take another picture when the other kinds are ready.



Fairy Tale Eggplant
They are so cute, only about 3-4 inches long. It is a beautiful mini eggplant.



Baby Bush Zucchini
These are also a mini vegetable. They are only about 6 inches long, and barely have any seeds. They are great if you wish to add some zucchini to your meal, and do not wish to use an entire regular size zucchini.



Cherokee Purple Heirloom Tomato
We have just started picking a bunch of these, things had a late start because of all the cold weather. Some of them are a really good size.



Baby Romaine Lettuce and Butterhead Lettuce
I am planning to pull some Romaine Lettuce heads for Saturdays market.



I know it does not look like much but these are the first two purple beans that I finally got to pick today. They are so beautiful. They are also very very long, in fact they were too long to fit in a quart container, so I think I am going to have to sell these in bags instead of quarts, like I usually do. I think that these beans also have a really good taste to them also. I am very excited about them and can not wait till I have enough of these to sell, hopefully soon.

------------------------------------------------------------

Right now we are in the process of getting our "greens garden" ready for our fall plantings of lettuces for salad mixes. Right now it is a disaster, and we need to get it tilled and planted within the next week.

We are also in the process of making plans for a hoop house, that we are planning on making for our greens. We had some really bad problems with flea beetles and leaf minors. The hoop house would keep the greens protected from these bugs. I hope it works out, because if it does I should be able to grow some nice pak choi, since they normally get completely destroyed my flea beetles. If everything goes well with the our plans we should have lettuce and greens for spring, summer, fall and may be a lot of winter.
