* The sweet peppers were harvested due to a frost threat, so some are a bit small. But they're still very tasty and versatile!

** The tomatoes were also harvested due to a frost threat. We picked a lot of green one's and have been ripening them up. We've included both red and green tomatoes in your shares. To continue ripening them at home, just place them in a paper bag on your kitchen counter. Placing an apple or another ripe tomato in the bag can help speed the ripening, but check daily for signs of rot!

*** Some of the cabbage heads are quite small. This is because they are the second growth on a stalk that had already been harvested. These 'personal-size' cabbages can be quite handy! And of course, they are delicious.

+ The brussels sprouts should be cut from the stalk before cooking! There are some good recipes on our website.

++ The hot peppers this week are in a crate in the cooler. Please take a handful.

+++ Full shares are weighing their own potatoes this week. There is a scale and bags on the left of the barn. The area will be lit until around 7:30 and we will have signs up. Choose the ones you want, and take three pounds.

There are some eggplants and other random veggies in the cooler that you can help yourselves to.

Also there are mums outside the barn door for the taking.

CUTTING GARDEN: You'll still find a few flowers and lots of herbs. There is some cilantro down there now. It's growth was patchy (just not a good cilantro year for us) but there's enough to cut!
