melon: Those of you who have not received a melon yet will be receiving one today. **If your watermelon is not ripe please let us know! Our field tests for ripeness are sometimes in error. If your muskmelon seems a little underripe, it will ripen. The end of the fruit should be soft and fragrant.

CUTTING GARDEN: **When you cut large bouquets this week you may include e few sunflowers in them. 

**There are some green jalapeños and chilies in the herb garden and you may pick a few. Please continue to cut small bunches of the other herbs. The cilantro is still a bit small so please let it grow another week before cutting.

**A little crop update: We know we've been short on greens and heavy on other veggies, but we have a lot of greens in the field coming. You can expect a return of head lettuce very soon, and a variety of Asian greens and mixes in September onward. Oh, and it's tomato season!!**

CUTTING GARDEN: Today you may pick medium bouquets of flowers from the cutting garden directly behind the greenhouse across from the barn, and from the perennial flower beds which are in the field past the perennial herbs.

You may take small bunches of any of the herbs. The first planting of basil is a bit tired and well-snipped so maybe take it easy on the basil this week.
