Summer squash

Hey, don't cry. Have some summer squash or zucchini? Get a baking dish that fits inside your microwave. We're going to cook this without heating the kitchen up too much. Slop a little marinara sauce in the bottom of the dish. Chop the squash into bite-sized pieces. You can add chunks of bell pepper, onion, tomato, or cauliflower (small pieces, it takes longer to cook) if you want. Mix all that in the dish and dot a little butter around over top of it. Cover with more marinara. You can make it a 'meat sauce' by adding cooked, crumbled ground beef or slices of kielbasa. Pepperoni? Yeah, sure. Cover it and microwave 5 minutes, stir it a bit and cook a few more minutes until the veggies are tender. You can top it with some shredded cheese when it's done; the hot veggies will melt the cheese if you give it a minute.

One-dish dinner. Lots of good veggies. Not too hard to prep or clean up. Love you; Mwah!

August 2024: A Little Bit Of Everything

Monday harvest:

Tuesday harvest:

Seeds we collected from this year's leeks:

Wednesday harvest:

Curbside find of the week. These 100 gallon stock tanks run for around 130 bucks & this one was free. We're going to use it to make a container version of a hugelkultur bed:

Friday harvest:

These are some of the summer squash that volunteered in our front bed. They appear to be a hybrid of lemon squash & either straightneck or crookneck squash:

Found while walking - two rocks... one obviously evil:

We have volunteer pumpkins in the front bed starting to make:

And here it is biting me:

My queen planted some lemongrass today to take the place of the Bells of Ireland that had gone to seed:

This poor unfortunate soul. This zucchini’s not very healthy to begin with but she managed to put out a couple flowers, one already in bloom. And now she’s flooded. Poor thing can’t catch a break. I kinda feel bad, I was well aware that this is a flood zone prior transplant. That water’s been there for more than 48 hours. I’m very curious if she’ll survive

[image id: various produce, mostly tomatoes, spread over a grainy countertop. The produce is mostly grouped by variety. Only the lemon cucumbers are in a bowl. End image id]

Haven’t posted any harvest photos yet this year because I don’t usually arrange them very nicely, but I put a bit more effort into this one from a few days ago. My favorite tomato of all time is the freaky yellow pear that looks like four grown together.

Varieties pictured (top to bottom, left to right)

Tomatoes- Black Beauty, Yellow Pear, Black Cherry, Pork Chop, German Johnson, Sungold

Beans- unknown variety of long bean

Eggplant- Millionaire, Japanese (by the bowl)

Cucumber- Armenian, Lemon (bowl)

Summer Squash- Zephyr, Zucchini

September 2024: The First Week

Wednesday harvest - complete with rat chewed eggplants:

Thursday harvest:

Saturday harvest:

Ruby-throated hummingbird sub-adult. It didn't have most of its adult colors & its mom would still occasionally come & feed it:

The outcome of Sunday's bank fishing trip & that night's dinner. We only caught one but, if you only end up catching one fish, this is a good size:

White early bush patty pan squash. So many different shapes!

Can you guess which one I let grow to full maturity to seed save from?

My garden is slowly coming along 🥒🍅🫑

I spotted the squash vine borer. Sigh. Several of my summer squash had larvae poop and cracks, so I dug more today, and found a few larvae. Hopefully squished the rest in there. Sprayed more diatomaceous earth, cut some weaker leaves and tied the thicker stem to the bamboo poles.

Later, I'll add more dirt on the stem, and sow some radishes in between the squash. Why not?

But since the squash damaged are pretttyyyyy bad at the stem, I'm sowing 4 more summer squash to replace the ones out there if they go to the point of no return.

The chiffon Zucchini was hit the worst, so I'm not redoing it.

🤞🤞🤞
