CSA pickup - #9: You say tomayto, I say tomahto!


Awesome pick up this week - eggplants, peppers, tomatoes - oh my! Duck and cover the tomatoes are coming, and once tomatomania starts it's unstoppable! No wonder tomatoes are the only vegetable featured in a horror movie. I know from past years, that even in a so-so year the amount of tomatoes in your share would make any macrobiotic faint on site seeing the harvest rooms. They are like the tribbles in the Star Trek series - they seem to be multiplying by the second! So let’s buckle up for the tomato craze!
