Tomatoes in the Tunnel You can never have too many tomatoes, so were preparing one of our tunnels for planting! We’ll be planting one row each of the following tomato varieties: Cherry Bomb, Sun Gold and Valencia. This is the first year we’ve tried this, and we’re hoping doing so will provide tomatoes for the farmers market earlier than ever. In Season Stop by the market to pick up kale, collard greens, salad mix, carrots, fennel, watermelon radish, kohlrabi, orange cauliflower and purple cauliflower.
