Choosing This Year's Heirloom Tomato Varieties

This year, we've decided to plant only heirloom tomatoes in the inn's Anderson Valley Heritage Garden. We traveled down to the Seed Bank in Petaluma to select our seeds.

This store, part of the Baker Seed Company out of Missouri, is a nirvana for gardeners.

This is one of the 30+ varieties we chose.

Our first harvest

Thanks to help from the Schoenemans and their vineyard manager, Norm Kobler, vegetables were ready to be picked from BGI's Anderson Valley Heritage Garden. Zucchini, squash and beets were the first veggies that will reach the plates of inn guests tomorrow!
