Tonights Dinner

Casian Pink

A Caspian Pink tomato begins to ripen as the summer season continues. Caspian Pinks are a Russian heirloom variety from an area between the Caspian and Black Seas. The are large, pink beefsteak fruits averaging 10 to 12 ounces. Their sweet yet rich flavor is outstanding and has prompted some tasters to compare to it to Brandywine.

Checking for duds

Evan and Rachel use flashlights to check a batch of duck eggs for duds.

To encourage upward growth we wrapped the bean vines around a support structure and tied it with green tape.













A fleet of minions rolled in as if preparing for some epic
battle.

The Showdown

The ducks just stared at me like I was an alien from another planet.... kinda creepy.

The House

Evening

Evenings here at the farm are so beautiful! A hard days work is rewarded with a visual treat of a purplish golden sky and soothing cool wind.

At the farm

Never thought I'd be blogging...today is day 13 of my internship here at Boondockers Farm in Creswell Oregon. Its a nice day, about 82 degrees. I've had a very educational experience here so far, yesterday I planted some dragons tongue beans which I've never heard of!... so cool. I've also learned a great deal about tomatoes and how to distinguish the different varieties by checking the leaf shape and flower pattern. Evan gave me a master list of literally thousands of different tomatoes species to study!... very interesting! Chocolate stripe and Purple are two varieties I can't wait to try.

First Blog

So this is my first blog. It is day 10 of my internship here at Boondockers Farm. So far I've learned to identify and plants and how to put them in the ground.
