The fruits of our labor....

Squash anyone ?

More squash and how about some cucumbers ?


This is a new type of squash we tried this year- called flying saucer .

Our friend let us pick more plums as well....

Then there are these beautiful flowers...gifts from a friend....since she knows how much I love flowers :)


We will be making dill pickles next week and we have made every kind of squash recipe there is....lets just say we are getting a bit tired of squash...except for the zuchinni bread. We found a wonderful , moist and tasty recipe and we have been making it and freezing them and even sharing a loaf with others. We made 16 loaves yesterday alone.....Every single one of the kids and adults in the family love this bread...so it is an easy way to get them to eat a healthy snack, breakfast or even dessert. I love this time of year.

You might consider cooking cut-up squash in some vegetable stock, then puree and freeze. It makes a great base for soups in winter.

Have you made squash casserole? It's my favorite! And the bread sounds good! I'm going to look up that recipe...

Clearly I need some gardening tips from you next summer. :) What a haul, man oh man!

Our first garden was this year and we are doing "ok" but not great at all. The hot hot days and then the moments of some rain here and there are taking its toll especially when we go out of town for a few days.
