Tomatoes to market

A greenhouse full of green tomatoes, ready to turn
Flying Tomato Farm has begun bringing small baskets of fresh tomatoes to the Edmonds Farmers Market, much, much earlier than last year (which was a hard year for tomatoes). We're hoping this will be a better season..it already looks like it!  The past few weeks our plants have been brimming with green tomatoes and we have enjoyed some tasty fried green tomatoes here at home. We've been waiting and waiting in anticipation for those first few tomatoes to start turning red, beginning with a little blush of yellow. Then, one day, you head into the greenhouse and there they are! The first red tomatoes.We even have a few sweet orange tomatoes and some yellow pears to share. You can find our first few tomatoes at the Saturday Edmonds Farmers Market on 5th & Bell from 9:00am-2:00pm . They always seem to sell out before 11:00am, so come early. If you're like us, we can hardly wait to eat real tomatoes after a long winter.
