Quite a harvest of zucchini, yellow crockneck and patty-pan this morning. Still have lots of wax beans, gonna pull some beets and cut some greens. It’s getting pretty dry over here, tho - and I’ve got a summer cold and just don’t feel like doing much more than what absolutely has to get done now. Weeds can wait a few days. So emphaisis this weekend is harvesting the zukes before they grow to weapons-grade size and water, water, water.
Have you ever pickled any zukes? I cut some up last year in a spear shape (did not include middle where seeds are). They were the larger ones, and they made great pickles.
In fact, they tasted better than cuke pickles, and had a nice crunch to them.
