an Asian eggplant or two (size dependent)**
head of broccoli***
cutting garden

* Tonda di parigi (Italian for 'round from Paris') is a stubby little carrot ideal for tossing in roasts or soups. You may also have a few longer carrots mixed in with your bunch. We left the greens on because they are pretty, but if you're going to store your carrots we suggest cutting them off.

** Asian eggplants are generally smaller than European varieties.

*** We experimented with an early broccoli variety called 'blue wind'. We didn't grow enough of it for everyone, but the other broccoli will be ready in a couple weeks.

CUTTING GARDEN:

There are plenty of herbs and flowers in the cutting garden for you. Please take a couple bunches of herbs and a bouquet of flowers.
