Gone Feral In Idaho

We visited Ethan and Marybeth yesterday and got to take a peek at Ethan's garden. He has Roma, cherry and super steak hybrid tomatoes, a Brussels sprout, basil beans fall broccoli, fall peas, and corn in this full-packed garden.  We enjoyed some fresh bruschetta, really enjoyed it with garden tomatoes and herbs.

We used to go as little kids when it was just a pumpkin patch with a tractor ride into the fields where they simply cut the pumpkins from the vine. They started making a big event out of it and we got priced out as well, and a little to old I suppose. Now there's a petting zoo, corn maze, family friendly haunt, etc... Nothing is this green in Boise this time of year.

Emily started GFF and here's two Tomato Fails: Squirrels found the few bedraggled Black Krims.  I'm leaving this plant for the squirrels so they leave the other one alone.  This one has no new blooms on it anyway.   Reminder: don't cut your tomatoes very thin when drying them, we didn't even get tomato chips.  We had to rehydrate them just to get the paper thin disks unstuck from the trays.
