This week we included honeynut squash, which is a newer variety that has a richer, nutier taste than regular butternut. Your shares contain a mix of peppers including poblano, which has a mild, smokey heat, and a mix of green large sweet peppers. We've been waiting patiently for our pepper plants to start yielding more, and they're begining to reward us, so we'll be including a variety of peppers from now through the end of the season. We're feeling great about this temperature shift, though we still have a seedling house full of plants we need to get into the ground over the next few weeks, so we still have a lot of work ahead of us. We hope you enjoy the vegetables, have a great week!
