*Our redemptive planting of broccoli is starting to head up now, but it wasn't yet enough for everyone. If you have a full share and didn't get some this week, you will get some next week. The rest will be ready for the winter CSA.


**The brussels sprouts have some superficial damage which will result in a bit more labor when you prepare them. You'll want to peel off a layer of leaves on any sprouts that are damaged and then they're good to go. We had trouble this year with a fungus that effected the broccoli, cabbage and brussels. Fortunately the damage does not go deep. Apologies for the inconvenience.

CUTTING GARDEN: You may cut small bouquets, small bunches of herbs and pick hot peppers. There are still some husk cherries as well.
