*The tomatoes this week include green zebras. They are ripe when the bottom is a little soft — some may also start to turn yellow.

**The winter squash this week includes acorn, delicata, sweet dumpling, and butternut.

+We thinned our carrot patch and didn't want the tiny carrots to go to waste. The roots are great to throw into salads or soups. The greens can be used for vegetable stock, or compost.

++The turnip greens are delicious. Please see our website or search the interwebs for recipes.

CUTTING GARDEN: The flowers are not as plentiful, so small to medium bouquets are now available. There are LOTS of herbs. We had a tiny bit of frost which tinged some of the basil, so get the basil while you can. Please cut parsley — so delicious right now. There are LOTS of hot peppers ripening so harvest liberally. Also, husk cherries are still coming strong. Enjoy the cutting garden while you can!
