Just had a meal at work that featured (fresh from my garden) marinated and grilled zucchini and straight neck squash. We also had cucumbers from the garden. Things are looking good. Last year I had a bad fungus invasion. It looks like I am holding it back this year.
My two adult sons visited last week. Of course they wanted quality time with Mom and Dad. (Taking back home a free motorcycle, 100+ quarts of homemade salsa, jalapeno relish, peaches, and other vegetables, 12 bottles of homemade wine (almond-raisin and jalapeno wine were their favorites), and about 40 pounds of bacon, smoked pork chops and homemade sausage probably influenced their decision to make a detour on their way home from attending a wedding in Wisconsin.)
Wow, impressive haul, are they pulling a giant cooler? :-)
Would you share a recipe or two???? ;)
I would surely visit you as well with all that bounty.LOL
Hubby just brought in the first cucumber this year, and said he had a lot of small ones coming on.
Maybe I’ll get to make some dill piclkles this year. We haven’t had a decent cucumber crop since 2010.
Hubby thinks that the last summer was so hot and dry that a lot of the bugs died, because we have been relatively free of insects etc. so far this year. Thinks the soil got baked free of pests and soil borne diseases.
Hey, wow! People will line up at your door begging you to adopt them.
