After many days of #hard work, we're #happy to see that our maize, tomatoes and #vegetables are now ready for #harvest. Hope to receive your feedbacks.

Juicy, marinated tomatoes are the perfect antidote to the summer heat. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2025/07/27/food-drink/marinated-tomatoes-summer/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #fooddrink #recipes #japanesecuisine #shoyu #vegetables

editing and boosting because seed catalogs are hitting the mailbox:

Because I was still on the mailing list for some reason, let me remind you to NOT BUY from #BakerCreekSeeds because of their blatant support of right wing ideologies and white supremacy.

Better options: High Mowing Seeds, Sow True Seed, Heritage Seed Market, Alliance of Native Seedkeepers, Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, Fedco Seed.

When the temperature rises, turn to a refreshing cube of tofu for salvation. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2025/07/18/food-drink/chilled-tofu-dashi-yakko/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #fooddrink #japanesecuisine #recipes #vegetables #vegetarian

The allotment is looking good considering how hot and dry it has been; broad beans (Bartek) and the tall-growing peas (Alderman) are taking off nicely. (See alt text). The ridged ground is where the second early potatoes are planted but they are not through yet. They are Wilja, Nadine and Acoustic.
The onions and garlic are also on schedule (out of shot).
Heartfelt thanks to my wife, who is doing all the hard work this year due to my poor health.
