This will be the last week of the lettuce. I promise. The heat last week signaled the end to the spring crops, including radishes, broccoli, sugar snap peas, lettuce and beets. Beans are a week or two away, along with more basil, garlic, onions, potatoes and the first of the sungold cherry tomatoes.

I realize that the half share boxes only add up to $10.75 this week, which is much under the $15 average. We're in a bit of a lull these past few weeks, one reason being the transition from spring to summer crops, the other being the intense heat we've been having. I feel as though I should not overwhelm you with many, many pounds of squash and cucumbers. We are close to tomato, bean, melon, pepper and eggplant season, so the boxes will be more full in future weeks, therefore the weekly amount will be more than $15.

Have a good week!
