I’m glad fall is coming, because the summer garden has been such a fizzle. LOL The spring stuff did great, and the garlic I planted last fall was good too.

Hubby has two medium size zukes and a few cukes and squashes - not enough for processing in the canner. He only had enough tomatoes for one batch.

So I’m going to make a quart of frig cukes and onions - no cooking. Just vinegar, water, spices, and sugar. I usually can some pickled sweet and spicy zukes, but don’t know if I’ll ever get enough to do that this year.

If not, I’ll dehydrate for zuke chocolate cake - Diana posted a link for a recipe.

I bought a bunch of frozen blueberries to dehydrate for my pantry - I think it’s probably cheaper than buying them. I want to try out a pemmican recipe in Fallon’s Cookbook.

Sorry you didn’t get much produce after all that work. It is frustrating.

LOL I planted lots of butternut squash - because I was feeling lazy . Don’t have to weed those OR can them! I figured they were a for sure thing. But now all the leaves have died back. I just hope the vines stay viable long enough so the gourds can harden.
