I have San Marzano Italian Paste tomatoes ready. If you like to make homemade sauce, salsa to can, these are the primo tomatoes to do it with. I will be hosting a You Pick tomorrow morning (Saturday August 19th) from 8:00 am-12:00 pm. You can come and pick these tomatoes for a huge savings! Regular $3.50/lb - U Pick for $1.50/lb. They range from blushed that need a few days on the counter to finish ripening to ready to go. Please call or message me on my cell 865-388-6867 for directions to the farm

This right here is the reason I keep untidy flowering Cilantro in my tunnel. As aphids arrive, so did the Green Lacewings and Ladybugs. Can you spot the wee little one in the sugar snap pea flower?

Just send a self-addressed, stamped envelope! The Live Monarch Foundation is one of many organizations we have to thank for the huge uptick in the nearly extinct monarch butterfly population last year, from 2,000 to 100,000 in just one year.
