Tomatoes, Leeks, Peppers, etc.

Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage.

After meeting with an apiarist (beekeeper) to put hives on the farm, we spent another Saturday starting seedlings. We planted quite a few leeks, several types of sweet peppers, one type of jalapeno pepper, two types of cabbage (Napa and Red), radicchio, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and a ton of tomatoes. Assuming all goes well in the realm of tomatoes, we should have Moskovich (heirloom), Beefsteak, Amish Paste (heirloom), Sweeties, Sun Cherries, and Red and Yellow Jelly Bean (click on the links for tomatoes you may not have heard of). Of course there is always time to go through the various seed catalogs and "accidentally" order more types of tomatoes, so who knows what else we'll have. We also started a few early tomato seedlings a couple weeks ago as you can see below. Sign up for our CSA or visit us at the Bridgton, Lovell, and Bridgton Paris Farmer's Union farmers' markets to pick up our basil and tomatoes this summer. Add in some local mozzarella and you've got a delicious, fresh, and local Caprese Salad.
