Today we’ve got the usual INSANE rainbow assortment of gorgeous, sweet, vine-ripened tomatoes from the gargantuan ‘puppy-sized’ heirloom down to the diminuitive cherry; sunflowers and zinnias for sale, along with cucumbers, sweet peppers, hot peppers, spicy salad mix, pumpkin, purple long beans, cooking greens, and lots of fresh herbs for salads, cooking and bush tea; and probably a few other things I forgot to mention. Broccoli, arugula and sweet mix, and papayas, will be available in short supply today.

Can you spot the praying mantis on this galangal leaf? We found a whole bunch in the basil harvest this morning. These insects are highly beneficial and are perhaps the only insect with an articulated head.
