Tomato Varieties At Randy's Raisings!

This Way To Tons Of Tomatoes At Randy's Raisings!

We stopped at Randy's Raisings in Calcutta, Ohio to pick up some sweet corn for dinner. We ended up with sweet corn and Ginger Gold apples, but just look at these tomatoes!  

Randy's Raisings Large Heirloom Tomato Selection ...

They sell all of these varieties in the spring at the greenhouse as plants and apparently grow out quite of bit of them.  LFLF highly recommends a visit to check out this selection!  Now for the small tomato varieties ...

There were more, but the sun was too bright & the pics got washed out! 

Running Around To The Markets

Randy's Raisings - Stop In For Some Great Buys!

LFLF has been out and about, but I keep forgetting the camera.  I had it with me this time when we made a stop at Randy's Raisings.  We wanted sweet corn and couldn't resist a trip through the greenhouse to check out the BOGO items!

Customer In Randy's Raisings Greenhouse

I got a potted Rosemary plant as well as some "Antigua" series marigolds to fill in around the perennials in the flower beds.  It's been quite a summer trying to keep up with the weeds ... the wet weather helps them to thrive too!
And yes, we got some sweet corn, possibly the best we've had so far this summer!

Herbs For Summer Cooking!

Randy's Raisings In Calcutta, Ohio

LFLF stopped at a favorite local Ohio greenhouse & grower yesterday for some herb plants.  We visited Randy's Raisings in Calcutta Ohio & picked out a hanging basket for the porch and our favorite summer herb - Spicy Globe Basil.  We use it to saute with yellow summer squash & garlic powder or garlic scapes ...... very good!

They had a great selection of herbs along side the greenhouse.  There were also plenty of tomato, pepper, & veggie flats to chose from if you still need plants, plus tons of annual bedding plants. 

Herbs & Edible Flowers

Strawberries & Heirlooms

Here are the first strawberries of the season in this "neighborhood". Found these on Friday at Randy's Raisings in Calcutta, Ohio. Needless to say, our 2 quarts are GONE now!
Also, outside of the greenhouse at Randy's Raisings was a wagon load of tomato transplants. Not just any tomatoes, mind you, but a large selection of heirloom varieties. Having already planted 4 varieties of heirlooms, I opted for 6 Super Marzano paste tomatoes and a 6 pack of the heirloom "Nebraska Wedding". I'm giving away 3 of them to a restaurant owner --- maybe they'll show up in a "local salad" this summer. If you still need some heirlooms, I'd say to stop in at Randy's for a selection in 6 packs. Zoom in on the pictures below for variety names ..... also seen ...... Amish Paste, Azoychka, Black Prince, Brandywine, Prudens Purple, Cherokee Purple, + many that I can't remember. Also saw a few packs of purple tomatillos. Plus tons of standard tomatoes. Lots of peppers, but I didn't study those.
