Another slow week, as I'm still not 100%. I didn't get much done, except harvesting the garlic, and making some sweet pickle relish.

Will harvest the sunflowers in a week or so. Tobacco going very slow. Tomatoes finally taking off. Peppers may be a flop for the spring planting. I'll start some more next week.

Too many cukes, and they are never ready when the daughter is around to take them. grrr....

Sorry you are not 100% yet. Glad you are better. Cukes never cooperate here either. Every time I run across someone that likes them, I have none. When I have no one to give them to, I have too many to get processed.

We have only had one little misshapen cuke so far. I just stuck it and some onion into a sweet and spicy pickled zuke jar that was almost empty. Had some earlier on top of my salad. It was great.

I was looking for some sirrachi sauce, and it's nowhere to be found - could you suggest a decent alternative or maybe homemade recipe that would be good. We had some combo of sirrachi, hoisin, and lime juice at the Shogun restaurant, and it was great to dip the stir fry broccoli in. It was not as hot as sirrachi but just the right amount of kick for me.

Since I usually can't stand broccoli unless it is smothered in cheese, I thought this would be a great way to eat it.
