Weekending

It rained much of the weekend and the weather was downright tropical, but when it began to clear on Sunday, it was evident that the high temperatures, sun, and rain over the past week had helped the garden to provide a bounty of zucchini and string beans.









An afternoon's work provided two zucchini, mushroom, and onion quiches, some zucchini marina, 14 cups of grated zucchini frozen, 8 packages of string beans blanched and frozen, and fresh string beans ready for dinner for the next three nights. This is what gardeners wait and wish for, and I'm anxiously looking forward to cucumbers and tomatoes next. This weekend is going to provide lots of healthy, delicious eating!

    this is my kind of weekend full of greens!! I love every single food you are showcasing. WE just got back from a three day getaway and someone ate our: peas, peppers and nasturtiums. We are guessing either deer or ground hog (I think ground hog...)
