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.

Today we are cutting into a 32lb. PUMPKIN! We have beautiful organically grown ONIONS for your soup!

Someone posted on Facebook that they love to roll up our giant broccoli leaves and slice them thin like spaghetti before sautéing. Sounds yummy to us!
