Tomatoes, few and far between

Ted has the following to say about what’s going to be in this week’s share:

As I told you last week, our tomatoes are infected with late blight.  So, this week, you’ll be getting another tomato tease, which I suppose is better than no tomatoes, but not what we had hoped to send you.  We’ll also send sweet corn or beans, depending on your site, white cipollini onions, basil, lettuces, various other greens to choose from, cucumbers, squashes, and some other warm-weather vegetables and root crops.
