And we've learned a few things too. Nine squash plants(zucchini and yellow)is about five plants too many. We have zucchini and squash all over the place. I have several 2lb. bags of frozen sliced squash, numerous bags of frozen shredded zucchini for breads, we eat summer squash at almost every meal, and the neighbors are currently all well supplied for their squash needs. We have a lot of squash.
This was yesterday's picking from the garden.
And here was today's.
Tomorrow when I see my family, "Happy 4th - here's some squash."
But if you notice, we have a couple peppers and some well ripened tomatoes. I now can attest that I understand what people are saying when they tell me that a store bought tomato can not rival a fresh, homegrown one. What a difference.
I have been pretty impressed with our gardening attempts - albeit it a little overwhelmed with Mr D brings in the haul every few days (or every day as in this week).
This week's dinner menu consists of lasagna (with zucchini), tomato and zucchini soup, grilled steak and squash, and probably a few more loaves of zucchini bread.
