for my birthday, I spent the afternoon building a garden basket for my field helper.

in the basket? purple cherries, sweetie cherries, and a 4th of July slicer

🌱 Watching them grow 🌱
There is something genuinely magical about watching a seed become a plant.

This week in the grow room: things are taking off. The seedlings that looked tiny last week are starting to look like actual tomato plants. The smell when you brush the leaves is already incredible.

Plant sale happening NOW. Come visit. 🍅

Tomato season is actually happening. Like, right now. 🍅
Quick inventory note:
A few varieties are getting low — if you've been eyeing something specific, don't wait on it.
BUT — if you're a Piennolo del Vesuvio person? We are DEEP in Piennolo. Come get some. These ancient Italian volcano tomatoes are not going to last forever but they are not going anywhere fast either.

Biggest tomato mistake you've ever made? 🙋
I'll go first.

I once planted 13 tomato plants thinking 'this is a totally reasonable number of tomatoes for one person.' I had tomatoes until November. I gave them to strangers. I still had too many tomatoes. There was a LOT of sauce made that year.

Would I do it again? Yes. Am I doing it again this year? No. I have a toddler. She's a lot of work.

Your turn — what's your biggest tomato growing mistake? Drop it in the comments. No judgment. Only solidarity. 🍅
