using that recipe….they’re kinda scary. :hide The house still smells like mustard. I’m going to try pickling them like cucumber slices and see what happens. While searching for something to make for dinner tonight, I found this recipe for Zucchini “Crab” Cakes (I hope my typo of “crap” isn’t a sign…… ) INGREDIENTS Makes 4 2 1/2 cups grated zucchini …
Yes, I’m going there :help I went in search of things to do with the 3 more monsters I just pulled from the garden and found this: Pickled Zucchini 1 pound zucchini 1 small yellow onion 2 tablespoons kosher salt 2 cups cider vinegar 1 cup sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed yellow and/or brown mustard …
Wow. I haven’t even set foot in the garden in 3-4 days because of the heat then rain and I was thrilled by what I found. Our first red roma tomatoes, crooknecks and zucchini, lots of corn and more. Check it all out :thumb And the crookneck squash siamese twin that wants to be a porn star:
Just a general update on how things are going in the Garden of Eatin’ today. The weeds are taking over. I need to get out there and attack with the weed whacker, it’s that bad. It’s not stopping things from growing, so that much is good! But it won’t happen in the next few days…yesterday we had 100F+ temps, today …
I couldn’t stand it any longer, I had to pick the 3 big zucchini :lol Going to make some zucchini bread and maybe a treat for the kids and shred and freeze the rest. Mmmm crookneck!
How do you shorten zucchini properly? Zuck? (that sounds like duck) Zook? Maybe, looks alien though. I’ll stick with zucc until I get a professional opinion. Anywho, I bring you: one tiny green pepper: He needs eyes I think. 2 of the zucchinis are the size of a mini baseball bat I have, but thicker. They’re going to be full …
Notice: The weeds are taking over. Ignore them and don’t think too badly of me ;) I don’t have enough time to keep them in check lately! I’ve noticed a lot of bee life in the garden, and managed to get a couple photos of them helping me out… With my tomatoes: And my lemon cucumbers: The squash are doing …
Yes, I do have a “thing” for using the Wizard of Oz themed titles :p Crooknecks: Zucchinis: Roma tomatoes: Beefsteak tomato: Corn: Green beans: The thyme is FINALLY growing! And the parsley is ready to get cut again:
Not much to say…very busy with non gardening stuff! The garden is still doing great, I have about 6 or 7 zucchini , 2 summer squash, a bazillion tomato flowers but still no fruit (what’s up with that?), the corn is waist high, the remaining taters are huge, one pea vine is at least 7-8 feet tall, I have twice …
I thought it might be a good idea to check out the taters that were getting flooded over and over. The bottom 4 plants, the ones at the end of the line so to speak that keep getting the most water, got pulled up last night and turned into dinner. The 3 russets and 1 of the red plants, completely …
Really. When I saw the thermometer in my van and it said 106F, I died. Thankfully the a/c brought me back. Well, maybe not so much, it’s still 80 degrees inside my house at 11pm and I’m miserable. I’m sure I sound melodramatic, but I tend to get awful migraines with the heat (got one yesterday) and it just makes …
