Fortunately I think all of us harvested plenty of tomatoes before the blight hit. The plants are starting to look pretty ugly, but there are still quite a few tomatoes that haven't been affected.
Made a pot of some delicious kohlrabi (recipe below) and a gorgeous chopped salad topped with delicate nasturtiums. Fresh salad almost every night! I heard someone say that braised cucumbers were sublime. Anyone have a recipe?
Kohlrabi (adapted from my German Grandma's recipe which really didn't have any amounts; it's kinda like cooking collard greens)
Remove the leaves and tough spine and tear or chop
Peel and slice or cube kohlrabi bulb
Dice one onion
Dice a few potatoes
Vegetable broth or chicken broth
Water
Apple cider
salt and pepper to taste
Cook the kohlrabi bulb in broth, water and apple cider. For 2 large bulbs, I used about 2 cups of broth and a cup each of water and apple cider. You may need to add some more broth or water as needed.
When the kohlrabi bulb is almost tender add the leaves and potatoes. Cook until all is tender.
Eat!!! Yum!!!

Happy Harvest!
