I feel you on that! A late freeze wrecked all our local peaches for the season ๐Ÿ˜ญ

A year-round tomato stall? Who wouldn't be excited for that!

I hope they live up to your expectations! Wish I had more room so I could try them! Are you going to process most of them?

[โ€“] polytropic@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Mm, plum tomatoes! I hope you get a generous harvest.

Certainly the meatiest of tomatoes.

The long cool spring here followed by a heat wave seems to have delayed most things a bit, but they're finally kicking off. My cucamelons and eggplant are blooming, and the okra plants are setting their first pods. Summer squash has been at it for a while. I think my fall garden will have to be late this year, but I use frost cloth, so I'll have some wiggle room.

A few more of these and I'll pick up some mozzarella cheese, harvest some basil and make Caprese salad. ๐Ÿคค

Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil and herbs would be delicious..

 

A 12oz Cherokee Purple. Delicious, but I do need to find an earlier black tomato variety to add to the mix next year.

Dang. I'm glad it at least didn't make you sick!

Ahh, that's unfortunate. I hope you get a chance to try some in better condition someday. Here, we mostly have L. sulphureus and L. cincinnatus, which are both choice edibles.

Delicious on top of garlic toast. Recipe courtesy Alan Bergo: https://foragerchef.com/sicilian-chicken-of-the-woods/#recipe

Involves tomato sauce, monarda fistulosa from my flowerbed, lots of onions and garlic.

 

From a beautiful Laetiporus cincinnatus found earlier in July. It was in great shape, but the lower layers had grown around a fair amount of stiltgrass, and I didn't want to hog it all.

 

Two pounds of smooth chanterelles, young dryad's saddle, a few old-man-of-the-woods, a black velvet bolete and some lovely white-pored chicken of the woods.
