Yeah they are pretty. But destructive. A few figs I can tolerate, but the one year rats didn't eat my corn, the fig beetles did. Too bad they are too big for the quail to eat.
Another great way to use shredded squash is to mix it with eggs, bread crumbs and seasonings to imitate a crabcake or fishcake. You can even refreeze them once they're cooked. I do up a bunch, then take them for lunch ... that is, I did when we were allowed to actually go OUT to work. Working from home is okay, but it sure has gotten OLD!I agree with @Acre4Me - def water so it doesn't just blow away.
I didn't have much luck with my straw bale garden this year. It was also the very first spot I got squash bugs.
Nothing happening here, my back is in bad shape today. I did get my sick bird into the shop where she's in the ac, I was feeling too bad for her outside.
I have a batch of chili on the stove, DH is away for the weekend & I have a girlfriend coming to visit.
@littledog - last year I had a bumper crop of summer squash so I have some ideas. I made all sorts of squash casseroles, squash soup, squash bread, stuffed squash boats, squash fritters/cakes, etc when fresh. But what I did that helped a lot was shred them in the food processor, squeeze the water out then vacuum seal them in 1 or 2 cup packages. Those came in really handy to pull out to throw in a soup (been know to add squash to broccoli soup) or a chili or to pull out & make a squash bread. I just used my last package a week or 2 ago. Great way to hid veggies in foods, lol.
I bought a fre dozen Tom Cat traps they work like a charm load peanut butter I have done away with 52 of them ..
Used to be able to see well on outskirts of Salt Lake City, but not anymore. Between the traffic and city lights at night and the combined smokes from multiple states’ fires,…not gonna happen.
Oh, what have I been doing in the garden? NOT paying attention..
Cucumber by the look of it
