Yule

Just another day of warm temperatures and high humidity. The tomato plants seem to be loving the weather.They are growing like crazy. Plenty of fruit now just to see them ripen. My mouth is watering for a nice tomato sandwich. That is a sign to me of real summer food.

Picked an abundance of green yellow and purple beams today. More to come by the looks of it in the next few days.

Looked up the planting chart and it's still not to late to plant beets, parsnips, turnips, second crop beans, and of course radishes. So maybe I'll get the grand girls to help with some fall and winter planting. If I can find some broccoli and Brussels sprouts to transplant I'll give them a go.

Thinking about root crops brings winter to my mind and fresh roasted roots with caramelized onions.
