cutting garden open

The cutting garden is now open, but you'll have to come with a light touch initially. The cutting garden is located beyond the raspberry bushes, which are just below the large black mat with all the mums planted on it.

There is plenty of basil that needs pinching, as well as some parsley that could be cut. We suggest you bring your own snips or scissors. A sign will be posted with instructions on how to cut.

There are some flowers, but not a lot. Please take a modest bunch, considering while you do so that there are 77 members of the CSA. By pinching (cutting the central stem) a flowering plant, you will be promoting more growth for the coming weeks!

When the cutting garden is more abundant, you'll be able to take a few bunches of herbs and a handful of flowers every week. We'll let you know when the time comes.

Unfortunately, our first sowing of cilantro did not germinate, so it will be a while before it becomes available.
