They do tend to get early blight and gray leaf spot quite easily, at least at our location. But we also never grew them in the greenhouse. Still hard to pass up!

Most years we grow costoluto florentino and it is one of the most versatile tomato variety I have found so far: they are amazing paste tomatoes, making for great sauce, but equally delicious just in itself as a beefsteak tomato… and stunningly beautiful on top of it!

They need to work on their packaging

Look at that color!: Making rhubarb jam for today! When I grew up rhubarb was always one of my favorite treats- which is odd for a child, since rhubarb is very tart and not necessarily on the sweet side. During rhubarb season my mom always made Rote Grütze, a traditional North German desert with rhubarb and red berries, as well as rhubarb jam for the entire year. A tradition I keep up and continued into my own adulthood: after all those years still one of my personal favorites!

Let me know if you find anyone. Desperately searching for a while now, too.

Searching as well…
