Watermelon harvesting has begun. I have a feeling there will be a brightly colored watermelon soufflé on the menu at the restaurant very soon! @the_pastry_wench @ronin.tx . . . #orangewatermelon #watermelonsouffle #growingintexas #farmtotable #bryantx #downtownbryan #ronintx

New crop of tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and tomatillos are hardening off and waiting to be put in the ground next week. There’s a short window for Fall solanaceous crops and right now is the time to get your transplants in the ground. . . #growingintexas #ronintx #fallcrops #falltomatoes #downtownbryan #farmtotable

It’s sweet potato harvesting time! The color of this purple variety is absolutely stunning. We will be serving the sweet potato greens at the restaurant this weekend and the potatoes in a few weeks after they cure. . . #ronintx #texasagriculture #growingintexas #downtownbryan #sweetpotatoes #purplesweetpotato

Fermenting some Aji Charapita and Lemon Drop peppers with carrots and garlic to make a hot sauce. This mixture will ferment for 3 weeks and then I’ll blend it up with a little honey and apple cider vinegar. Aji Charapita peppers are native to Peru and are coveted by chefs in South America who pay a pretty penny for them. After harvesting them I understand why - they take forever to harvest by hand because of their size. I’ll post a recipe on my blog as soon as the process is complete and I’ll include information about the fermenting lids I am using, which make fermenting accessible to anyone. Perfect for those who want to try fermenting, but don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on ceramic jugs. #fermentedpeppers #fermentedhotsauce #ajicharapita #growingintexas #bryantx #growyourownfood #probiotics
