More Tomatoes

Professor's Garden Market Table in the Afternoon

I don't think there is anything I like more than homegrown tomatoes.  If you go to the grocery store, the only tomatoes you may have ever tried are Roma tomatoes, tomatoes-on-the-vine, grape tomatoes, and the ubiquitous tomato.  But if you go to either the West End Market on Tuesdays or the Grandin Market on Saturdays, you can see the Professor's Garden.  They grow varieties I have never seen before, like green sausage tomatoes and garden peach tomatoes.

They have gardens at two different sites in Roanoke County.  They also have a blog where you can find out more about what they will have at the market, what it is like being a market vendor, and what is growing on the farm.  From the pictures, it looks like turnips are on their way.  Very exciting.
