This will probably be the last week for Arugula. We will also take a short break from the Romaine lettuce for a couple weeks (that heat wave really took a toll). But the tomatoes, peppers, and tons of other crops are almost ready!

I also have some of these weird, noodle-looking squash I'm growing this year called Zucchino. They are very tender and taste like a zucchini, so if you selected summer squash and/or zuchini on your sign-up form, you'll be getting these as well.

Stay tuned, y'all, summer is just around the corner!! Have a great week and don't forget to wash your produce!!
