Tomato Freaks
Romeo: "the Roma tomato king."
We were late for the tomato extravaganza, but still gorged ourselves on Arkansas traveller (yum!), Japanese black something, and a bunch of red ones out back that were great but unlabeled. Vowed to arrive early next year. We're on their mailing list now.
I'm planning the fall crop of tomatoes -- early producers from Oregon, made for cold climates with warm days and cool nights. Perfect for the SFV in the fall.
While we were at the Sepulveda Community Garden Center, we wandered around to admire the plots. One man we stopped to speak to was growing taro. He said, while Hawaiians eat the root, Indians eat the leaves, spreading a spice mixture between leaves layered like phyllo dough, then rolling, tying and steaming the whole.
