Today's harvest —

We're having a great squash, cucumber and eggplant year and you'll continue to experience this bounty for some time! We're trying to include some pertinent recipes each week to help you get creative.

Tomatoes have just started to ripen! If you didn't get tomatoes in your share this week, you'll be sure to have them next.

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.
