CUTTING GARDEN — There a some SUNFLOWERS growing randomly in the cutting garden, and there are some that we planted above the mum-mat near where you park. Everyone may take a few.
There are also some HUSK CHERRIES that have begun ripening. You may pick a couple handfuls. Husk cherries are ripe when the paper-like covering turns yellow and the fruit within is golden. Many drop to the ground when ripe and can be scooped up.
This week you may pick medium bouquets of flowers, small bunches of any of the herbs. Also, you may pick several hot wax and jalapeno peppers, as well as any hot paper lanterns that have turned red, or magnum habaneros that have turned orange.
