Monthly Farm Report

How long does it take a tomato to ripen?  I have something like 30 in various stages, and at least 6 full-grown, but the only color change so far is to a slightly yellower shade of green.  It doesn't help that the tomato plant is fighting some kind of disease.  Several branches seem to be winning.  Started looking up recipes for Green Tomatoes, just in case.

At last count, there were three eggplants growing.  A new purple bloom appears every couple of days.

Artichoke is still putting out leaves, but is in no rush.

At the rate the corn are growing, they should be ready to pick sometime around Thanksgiving.  Maybe they need warmer weather.  After a spring heat wave in March or April, Southern California doesn't get warm until the first of July.
