oh man. finally. tomatoes. it's been so unseasonably cold up here this summer. the tomatoes are just not growing. its very frustrating. i have five tomato plants and the only one that has had fruit ripen is the teeny weeny cherry tomato plant. so i have still had to buy them. i guess a few farmers are growing tomatoes in a green house, because they are incredible. and there are very few. i have to get to the market (http://www.chicagogreencitymarket.org/) at seven. when it opens. on a saturday. ouch. in order to even get them.
i've also found some very interesting things from green acres farms. i bought the most amazing thing over the weekend. wild spinach. who knew?! it's called lamb's quarters and it really does taste like spinach. just like w the purslane, i've only eaten this raw in a salad but you can cook it just like spinach. its amazing.
its painful to get there so early, but it is worth it. if you cant make it and want something, just let me know. ill get it for you. ;)
