I was a happy camper at the dinner table last night. Picked enough squash for dinner plus one tomato. The first harvest is always such a good feeling isn't it! Fried chicken made it all just that much better. Mmmmm.... |

I'm picking tomatoes and cucumbers steadily now. They are sooo good! Eggplant should be ready by the weekend! No squash yet, they're still tiny (if they survive!) Oh, and bell peppers-I'm picking lots of bell peppers! |

Early in the summer, my eggplant were so loaded down with fruit, that I lost several branches off the plant. I cut it back during all the heat/drought we had a few weeks ago, and BABY, it came back! Attachments: ![]() |

Congratulations CP! Last year I sliced larger zucchini in half length-wise and scraped/cut out the flesh (hard to do!)to make "boats". I stir-fried the guts with yellow squash, onion, mushroom, spices and then mixed in some of Sargento's basil/sun dried tomato shredded cheese. Covered them with foil and baked in the oven until the boats were tender, then uncovered to brown them a little. Man, that was good! I've stuffed them with different things, pretty much whatever I have on hand at the time, and they are always tasty. Are your cucumbers getting enough water? I usually have the same problem with cukes, but this year we had a lot of good rains and the cucumbers took off like mad. Prettiest cucumbers we've ever grown so I think lack of an even supply of water was the problem in the past. |
