Been donating excess zucchini and yellow squash to the local food bank. We have made about 6 drop offs since they started coming in. I think we are up to about 200 or 300 lbs of that donated. Corn is just coming in. Got about 10 ears off, going to be donating excess to the food bank. We also got about 9 pumpkins off the 4 hills we planted, another 6 or 8 green on the vine. Peppers didn't do well. Something kept eating the leafs and only 2 of my peppers types are doing well. My green peppers are getting blossom end rot. I will be applying some home remedies when I get a chance. We have canned about 5 gallons about green beans. All the rest will be given away and donated. Pulled about 30 lbs of Romas, started making salsa. Next will be tomato sauce and excess to the food bank. Pulled about 25 or 30 eggplants. We ate about 10 and donated the rest. We should get another 30 or 40 out of them before end of the season. We plan on making a roasted eggplant dip with the next batch. Made 10 pints of pickles last night. Cukes have just started really producing well. Pulled 20 off yesterday. We donated about 10 or 20lbs of cukes to the food bank. The whole reason we went this big with the garden was to do the donation thing, doing pretty well I think. Hope everyone else is doing well.
