The Bounty of Summer: Food and Family

We've always centered our celebrations of family around food, and this year is no different as we send Nico out into the world. We start a new life together, the house feels a little empty. But the knowledge of the strength of our family and the wonderful start they had here helps. Alex, Galen, Nico each took with them a bit of each of us, of family and of the place. Love to Carol.

San Francisco Fog...

Tomatoes that is! They're finally coming. Over in the corner by the bench. Those little green guys in the picture are the cherry tomatoes--also coming in a little slower. The San Francisco Fog variety is a hardy soul of a tomatoe...good taste not as sublime perhaps as the heirlooms coming in on the southside. More on that later...for now enjoy, let them sit inside on the counter (not in the refrigerator). Farmer Bill

ROMANO BEANS!

Yes, they're here--flat beans, Romanos, Italian beans--whatever you call them. They are sweet and tasty--especially when they are young. Look for the big stand on the path in from the brown house. Try them blanched with a nice vinegarette. Please, pick--then pick more! Farmer Willie
