* Some of you will be getting Jimmy Nardello sweet peppers which are long and thin, range in color from green to red, and look like a hot pepper.

** If you get any tomatoes that aren't quite ripe, just let them sit (not in the fridge) in a bag for a day or two and they will ripen right up.

*** Our melons are ripening very erratically this year, so some of you will be getting melons this week, and the rest of you over the next several. Your cantaloupe may need to sit for a few days to ripen. If it does, you'll be able to tell it's ready when it is fragrant and the end of the melon gives a little when you apply pressure it. If your water melon is not ripe, it will not ripen — let us know and we'll get you a replacement next week.

CUTTING GARDEN: Please visit the cutting garden and take a large bouquet of flowers and several bunches of herbs. There is plenty of basil for you to make a large batch of pesto to freeze — it is well worth the effort to harvest and freeze pesto for later in the year!!
