Trying to use up some zucchini. I had a couple of dozen wrapped up in the fridge.

I dehydrated a bunch of them, shredded and froze some for baking in 1 cup installments, made a zucchini frittata this morning and its ground beef zucchini casserole for dinner with zucchini brownies for dessert.

Cucumbers coming in but not in great numbers. Cucumber sandwich for a snack last night.

Been snacking on green seedless grapes for the last few days. There were only 5 bunches because the vine is kind of small and I don’t know how to prune them so they didn’t produce for a few years. I almost got rid of them but decided to let them go one more year and see. Glad I was too cold and lazy to yank the vine out earlier this year! They’re tasty with very tender skins and far better than what is in the store.

I have gobs of Concord grapes this year and if the tree rats don’t get them I’m going to be making a lot of grape jelly soon...

Tomatoes are still showing no signs at all of ripening.

Enough health green stuff. Btw, chocolate is a bean ....so its really a vegetable.

As I was mowing past my grapes today, (all six of them) I saw a lot of Japanese Beetles eating the leaves and having some sort of orgy! Ick!

I planted seedless ‘Reliance’ and ‘Somerset’ grapes for eating and juicing two years ago and THIS is the THANKS I get, Mother Nature?

Tomorrow, they DIE!

(Paraphrased, because I’m pretty sure he wasn’t talking about Japanese Beetles...but he’s still spot on, LOL!)
