In your photo "snacks from the garden", what is the green and purple thing at the very bottom? Thanks!

Thanks for your question! Those are watermelon radishes. Here are some more impressive looking ones I received in my farm share a while back.

That eggplant looks good. Did you start them from seed?

Thanks! Yes, I started the rosa biancas from seed. It took a year before they started to produce any fruit.

This tomato plant in the plot next to mine is covered with a web covered in some kind of pinkish-orange spores. I was working on my plot for a good while when I realized I my back had been rubbing up against it. Kinda freaked me out. Does anybody know what this is?
