August 18, I think the number is 15 Z and 7 cukes so far. Pulled carrots. Note to self about carrot placement

 

Carrots not tasty so I made the ginger lemon carrot soup.

Don't plant carrots near the zucchini

At least I am getting a lot of cherry and chocolate cherry tomatoes

Yay, a dahlia

Note to self. Plant more of these next year instead of petunias

August 15 2021 Getting more zucchini. Maybe about 12 now?

There are a few normal looking cukes.  No Butternut at all. I have had maybe 3 summer squash this year.

Here are more pictures of the garden

Found this, looking at how it was drooping and water perked it up. It was in the pine tree garden where I had planted a poppy

What is this? Near summer squash area. Threw it out

This petunia looked really bad after we got back from the Family Gathering in CS.  I plucked it, cut it, gave it Miracle Gro

This one has done well all summer

Just love having a Boston fern.  They look good all summer

I have got to do something with this garden. It's a mess

Pulled out all the yarrow that was bending over...in time for the trash men

I have staked the gladiolas.  Hope for some pretty ones

I just love all the perennials.  Note the sweet potato vine in the boxes.  Next year I am putting those in and no petunias, rather, that kind of red leaf thing like Joan has.

Making chocolate zucchini bread today and made a stuffed zucchini Friday night

 

Note to self about making pickles

 With the recipe I have for refrigerator dill, I made 3 big jars and 2 small jars today.

I used 2 or 3 cucumbers from my garden but also some from Linda's since I don't have very many.

I picked a few more zucchini. I'll need to make zucchini bread next week. Still getting cherry tomatoes. 

Well, it's just not a good year Aug 5, 2021

 I guess we are up to 11 zucchini.  I was sorely disappointed in my zucchini chips.  They did not turn out as crunchy and kind of got very thin.

Tomorrow I'll cut that big one for a stuffed zucchini.

There are 4 zucchini growing and only 2 cucumbers.  I got one tomato, 2 cukes and a zucchini from Linda C.

Pickles just won't happen.

I am afraid it was because of that lattice. The cucumber just went all over, messing up the garden.

I have a couple summer squash but not one butternut coming.

Tomatoes on the window sill since blossom end rot still plaging me. I really really need a new hose and some bigger pots for next year
