ALWAYS BLOG THE FARMSTAND.

I forgot to three weeks ago - maybe four?  Anyway, at that date, Kimballs had sour cherries - the only time I have found locally grown sour cherries.  Heaven!

Today's farmstand report, Lull's - everything's coming up!  August is the real summer up here:

Heirloom tomatoes
Local potatoes - I got Red Norland:

Red Norland Augusta:

Augusta and Purple Viking:

Purple Viking Local melon, including watermelon, honeydew, canary, that one that looks like a delicata squash, and muskmelon spp.

Local corn, including Mirai. Caitlin, we'll pick up Mirai this weekend and make atole mirai.

Early apples, including Jersey Macs, Ginger Gold, Paula Red, and Gravensteins. Jersey Macs aren't worth the bother but Gravensteins are great (and not grown much outside of California).

I asked about wild blueberries, but was told they didn't have any, which seems weird.

It's tomato pie season, tomato sandwich season, okra and tomatoes season, and almost succotash season! Holy cats.
