Plenty more tomatoes this week - I'll try to give you some ripe, ready to eat and a few not so ripe for later in the week. You'll see either a red tomato (Big Beef), purple (Cherokee Purple) or pink (Pink Girl). Also this week: Sun Gold cherry tomatoes. These varieties have become my favorites over the past few years, so they're what we are growing the most of.

Melons: We grow 2 types of melons: cantaloupe (orange flesh) and galia (green flesh). It seems like the galia melons are ripening earlier than the cantaloupe, so most of you will probably see these in your boxes this week. Both have been really sweet and delicious, and have been my breakfast for the past week!

We also harvested all the winter squash yesterday - an excellent crop this year, so we'll make up for the lack of winter squash last year. Look for these to start showing up in your boxes in a few weeks (remember, they'll store for up to 6 months).
