Afternoon Update: Here's a peek post-harvest. I think it is one of our prettiest harvest days yet. We hope to see you tomorrow!
I am going to walk you through what we are bringing before I harvest it. This has to be some of the freshest produce available in San Diego, we hope you think it's as tasty as we do.

Yellow pear cherry tomato |
We are still waiting for more of the newer tomatoes to ripen but we do have a few tasty varieties to bring in small quantities. Along with the yellow pear cherry, we will have some red cherry, a couple better boy, and some three sisters tomatoes.
We will have quite a few cucumbers.

We have a lot of lemon cucumbers this week |
If you have not had a lemon cucumber before then I would recommend trying one. It is an heirloom variety, grown since the 1800's, and has a slight citrus flavor. We will also have at least 1 Persian cucumber and a space master cucumber.
We still have lots of peppers. Tomorrow we will have some black beauty, sunrise and California wonder bell peppers.

Japanese eggplant |
I'm not sure how many green beans we'll have yet but we'll have some. If not enough for an entire family side dish, I suggest eating them raw with your favorite dip, or chopping them up and eating them raw in a
Gidget's Garden salad.

We also have a purple and green variegated basil plant that is starting to take off. So pretty. |
We'll bring some more lemon rose geranium stems and aloe leaves. The lemon rose geranium is my favorite smelling plant on the planet, so far. It can be added to a flower arrangement for a long lasting, pretty, and beautiful smelling touch, or you can plant it in a pot with some good quality soil and try to get it to root for a wonderful garden plant.

Gidget will not be fooled again. She plans to stay home to hunt for some real food. |
