What did you do in the garden today?

This year they are growing like weeds...

lol. One web site said they are wild in SA. AND needs 4 x 4 spacing: will need to replant everyother to a new location. A new location that will have a snow fence around it-- bought that today!!

I think I'll try tomatillos next year, and maybe some ground cherries.

Found two small zucchini this morning, and sauteed them with garlic & mixed them into scrambled eggs with a little sharp cheddar for DH Father's day breakfast.

Delish!!

I wanted fried squash today . I settled for fried squash blossoms .

Oh I envy you-- I'm too frugal to give up blossoms.

I only use the male blossoms . They had already done their job . To make sure I hand pollinated the few female flowers . In a few days I should have a frying size squash . The wait is just too much .

My mom ended up taking them all even tho I don't think she wanted that

You're missing some good eating. wonderful braised in butter. Much better than raw.

So you just sweep it up and haul it off? What do you do with it?

The female flower has a small squash at the base of the flower . Male flowers do not . I do mine in a egg wash then cracker crumbs and fry in real butter . Same way I do morel mushrooms . I fry my squash with egg wash and then dry coating then fry . I like Andes or Fryin Magic dry mix . I use oil to fry squash in .

Yummy ideas! I think I'll catch up to you soon. I've been using garlic scapes in salad; didn't think about pesto, and it sounds wonderful. My biggest escapade today was attempting to cut 1/16 " cable for the tomato trellis and not being able to or even find a cutter that would. So glad the guy at Home Depot told me about tie wire. It'll be better to work with.
