CUTTING GARDEN:
The basil is looking pretty shabby and we'll be pulling it soon to compost, so if you want to glean what you can, best do it soon. You may cut small bouquets and harvest small bunches of other herbs. You may take a few ripe hot peppers, and a handful or so of husk cherries.

*The musk melons and watermelons have begun to ripen! Over the course of the next several weeks you'll all be receiving a melon. We harvest the musk melons a little under ripe in order to preserve their quality coming out of the field. A musk melon will tell you it's ripe when the end is a bit soft and you can smell it. If you want to ripen it up, simply place it in a bag on a shady counter and let it sit a day or two.

Watermelons will not ripen on your counter. We test for ripeness in the field by color and sound. Although usually accurate, an unripe watermelon does sometimes get through. If this is the case, please let us know and we'll get you another.

**At the time of this post we are still harvesting beans and are unsure how much you'll be getting

CUTTING GARDEN: You may continue to take large bouquets and large bunches of basil (please take enough basil to make pesto with if you like — the basil is aging quickly so get it while you can). You may take a few of the ripening hot peppers, or the green jalapenos (careful with these — they are very hot, and if broken can get on your fingers, and from there into eyes etc). Please help yourselves to a handful of husk cherries, and small bunches of any herbs.

Today's Harvest:

**PLEASE NOTE: There are pints of tomatoes in crates in the middle of the cooler. Full shares may take TWO pints. Small shares may take ONE pint. If you're sharing a small share, you still need to split the one pint between the two of you. Thanks.
Also, please bring back your pint containers and we will re-use them.

CUTTING GARDEN: You may take large bouquets and large bunches of basil as well as small bunches of the other herbs. There are some husk cherries that are starting to ripen. A husk cherry is like a small, sweet tomatillo. You remove the fruit from its papery shell to eat. They are ready for harvest when the papery shell turns yellow-gold. The husk cherries usually fall to the ground when they are ripe. You can probably harvest a small handful this week, and a bit more next week.

*At the time of this post we are still harvesting beans and do not know the exact amount yet.

CUTTING GARDEN: You may pick large bouquets and large bunches of basil. The cilantro really needs to be cut, so please take more than you have been. You may continue to cut small bunches of other herbs.

BEE UPDATE: We've looked through the cutting garden on several occasions and haven't found a bumble bee nest. The bees have not been aggressive the last several days. There are a lot of bumble bees currently in the bergamot, so if you're concerned, please avoid that area of the garden (the bergamot is labeled). Please avoid disturbing flowers with bees in them, and if a bee flies into you, take it as a warning to slowly back off from the area you're in.
