When I first peeked under the leaves, I saw
one cucumber ready for picking. That was on
Saturday. I must have missed a few. They have
managed to grow into the size of small footballs.
Yikes! So far, I prepared 2 and a half jars of pesto
with the basil. Some of my book club and bicycling
friends have also shared their garden bounty: onions.
beets, zucchini, green beans and yellow squash. I baked
up 6 small zucchini breads, and grated another zucchini
in prep for more. I’m planning to put the onions in
vinegar with some of those cucumbers. I love beets,
but don’t know of another way to prepare them, but
boil them. Even though I do like the garden bounty,
today when I was at the Home Depot with Mr. Fix-it,
I avoided the vegetables and picked up a few perennial flowers.
TOH to date: 631 hours and 15 min.
