Good job with the 'maters - excellent. Before we moved to the part of town with no soil, I did the cucs, tomatoes, okra, squash and most all the southron stuff except beans and watermelons.

Now I go to the Farmer's Market for fresh goodies. A fat tomato hollowed out and stuffed and baked with cheese, green onions, maybe mushrooms, plenty of bacon and whatever else trips your taste bud's trigger is fine dining to me.

Gadzooks...all this fine veggie talk, is making me hungry...

When we were living in North Carolina, we always had a huge veggie garden...and with all that heat, the garden began early in the year, and ended late....

We always grew lots of squash and zucchini...and of course, before one knows it, there is zucchini coming out of your ears, and one was always trying to come up with new ways to use that zucchini...I guess our favorite way was homemade zucchini bread....I made that stuff, it seems once a week, not wanting to waste any of it...

But I always left a few zucchini, on the vine, just to see how big they would grow, and some sure grew big...the boys would go out, and pick one of those huge zucchinis, and use it as a bat, to hit hard green tomatoes....Ah, a new sport...veggie baseball...
