The Red Sox may have feng shui, but the North Street garden has red tomatoes. This specimen is an Early Cascade, an excellent tomato for coastal gardens. It produces medium, very tasty fruit that never split and are just the right size for one sandwich or salad serving.

The North Street garden is lush in early August with green beans, cucumbers, zucchini and yellow squash, herbs, scallions, garlic, eggplant, potatoes, carrots, green peppers, beets and even corn. And of course, salad ingredients of all kinds as well as chard, kale, and other healthy greens.

Some of the gardens have beautiful flowers growing among the vegetables, such as this wildflower selection featuring annual poppies.
