This post has been taken from an older blog program but I wanted to share the world of Heritage Tomatoes<\/p>\n

Today, I am making a batch of an old recipe of Tomato jam. Had it when I was a kid on the farm, and loved it, but mine seems really liquidy at the moment, hopefully once the raisins go in, it will solidify. I used Heritage tomatoes, the only ones we grow. Good year for tomatoes, except they are ripening late. Lots of rain, but not enough warm weather.<\/p>\n

The picture is from the Tomato Day<\/span> that was held at Sisters of Providence, Seed Sanctuary on August 23, 2008. There were over 103 different types of Heritage tomatoes cut up for people to taste.<\/p>\n

This year we only grew out 15 varieties, but there are a few rogue plants in veg garden 4B.<\/p>\n

A project is to extent garden 4a and 4b by another 6 feet x 20 feet and build a strong fence of cedar posts up to 8 ft to keep the deer out. A new entrance way of cedar posts will be built, s\"\"<\/a>o next year we can plant the scarlet runner beans that came from Sandi, Kevin’s mom.<\/p>\n

Still trying to find out the type of bean this is. So far I have found something similar called a Coco Blue bean.<\/span> These are from 2006 and from Grandma Lida’s garden (Kevin’s Grandma)
\nIf anyone can tell me for sure. The pod is purple, and the beans a white\/cream colour.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow we are going to the Garlic Festival in the morning and a wine tour in Prince Edward county, with dinner at the Warring House, a wonderful old stone house with gardens to die for.<\/p>\n

The rain is slowly falling today, and the plants are thankful, its been 12 days since no rain…..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
