CUTTING GARDEN: NEW THIS WEEK: In addition to all the herbs you've been cutting, you may now cut small bunches of cilantro and basil. You may also harvest chamomile flowers (by running your fingers through the plant). You may cut small sprigs of flowers from the annual garden behind the large greenhouse across from the barn. You may also venture further down into the field, downhill past the mum mat, past the raspberries and the large tree and cut small bouquets of perennial flowers which are on the left.

cutting garden

*Salad turnips can be eaten raw like a radish, or sauteed/roasted. The greens are also edible.

**Some of the small shares will have a mix of snap peas and golden sweet peas; eat both shell and all.

***Small shares: The broccoli is gradually sizing up and we will get a portion to everyone over the next few weeks. This week, if the name of your share as written on the check-off list begins with A through F, you may take a bunch of broccoli.

CUTTING GARDEN: 
This week you may take small bunches of any of the following herbs: sage, dill, parsley, thyme, oregano, summer savory, leaf fennel, and chives.
In addition, some of the basil is now ready to be "pinched." Pinching means cutting the central stalk, while leaving nice new growth on the plant below the cut; this will encourage more growth.
Some of the flowers have just begun to bloom, so you may also pinch those and take a few blooms.

your right just past and above the large oak tree. Everything is 
labelled. Please be careful to walk in the pathways and not the beds.

*Crop update: So we were supposed to have more broccoli and cauliflower for the last few weeks. Our mid-summer planting of 600 or so plants, was razed by woodchucks the day after planting. Fortunately, they only ate the top leaves leaving the crowns of the plants intact. But this set the crop back, and although we no have big beautiful plants in the field, they have only just begun to develop crowns. We're hoping to have some for mid-November winter shares, but a hard freeze might destroy the crop.
