* The squash shaped like flying-saucers are patty-pan summer squash and can be sliced and cooked just like any other summer squash, skin and all.

** Some of the slicing tomatoes are cat-faced, meaning there is some irregular shaping and some rough patches of skin. Cat-facing is generally caused by moisture-stress — in this case it's likely too little water. The tomatoes are still delicious — just cut out any undesired bits.

CUTTING GARDEN:
There are lots of herbs and flowers! If you are not visiting the cutting garden, you are missing out! This week, feel free to take several bunches of herbs, including enough basil to make a small batch of pesto. Please also take a larger bouquet — be aggressive!
