What are Split Items
Split items are items available to the market in wholesale quantities only. However, the wholesale quantity can be "split" by a number of buyers. If exactly the entire wholesale quantity is ordered then each buyer will get the amount they ordered. If more or less than the exact wholesale quantity is ordered then the amount each buyer will actually get may be different than the amount the buyer ordered. When you hover on the order quantity box for a split item, shown with a green background, a popup will appear with the following information: Order Qty: Enter what portion of the total quantity you want to order + : Enter any additional amount you are willing to take. - : Enter any lesser amount you are willing to take. Additional information about the split may also be shown. Split Information: Split status (Filled or Unfilled), split size, and amount remaining to fill the split. Split Participants: Who is currently participating in the split and the quantity each participant has ordered. Note: By default the splits participant name is "Private." In order for the participant's actual name to appear the participant must set "Splits Privacy" to off in their "My Profile" page. Because ordered split item quantities may not actually be delivered unless the entire wholesale quantity is sold, at the end of the order cycle the market manager will make a determination as to what quantity of the item ordered will actually be delivered and will notify the buyer.

Fruit; A Mystry to Harvest
Telling the perfect time to harvest vine fruits and some tree crops is tricky for me. While some are easy to know when they're ripe, like strawberries that turn red, apples that get their blush on, or melons that change color, others are much more difficult.
The Watermelon Challenge
Watermelon is the most challenging of all. We've tried all the signs we've read about: the tendrils closest to the fruit's stem dying, the ground spot changing color, and the old-fashioned "thump" test. None of these methods seem to be a foolproof way to know for sure. There have been years when we've been disappointed, cutting open what we hoped would be a ripe melon only to find white flesh inside.
A Different Approach
This year, we decided to wait until our cantaloupes were already turning color before harvesting our first watermelon. We were happy to find that it had a beautiful, red, sweet-tasting core. We're growing two types of watermelon this season: 'Juice Box', a smaller 4-6 pound variety, and 'Blacktail Mountain', a larger round variety. We also have two types of cantaloupe, 'Triton' and 'Milan', which are ripening now. If you get the chance, buy a few of these late-season fruits and enjoy them—the harvest season passes by so quickly!
We have listed the last cabbage to be harvested for the season, along with pears and catnip.
Please note the change of delivery day for this week. We hope September provides your table with lots of fresh local food and fruits.
