September 24, 2022. another dahlia, another rose

I was unable to find any dahlias at Home Depot. I used my gift card and got fish fertilizer and some spring bulbs.  I asked the HD guy for bulbs and he sent me to "light bulbs."

maybe the last?

lots of tiny cukes, how many cosmos seeds in there😠 The big cukes aren't very good but there are a few good ones in there

Not looking too good but might be good for getting seeds. Wanted a prettier deck for Sunday guests who are now not coming because of COVID

 

September 20, 2022 Home from Aussie land

Many thanks to Joan for keeping these flowers alive.  Most excited about the lily from P. Allen and new dahlias.  I learned from Rob P. how to save my dahlia bulb.  Let it die and cut it back.  get a plastic bag and tie it around the pot.  Sprinkle water occasionally as it is stored in garage.

Tom has taken out all the Cosmos

My experiment:  these were all green and hard on Sept 3.   Put them in a brown bag with an apple and half a banana.  They all turned red. I made marinara today.

 

September 3, 2022 the end of the summer, pretty much

 Well, Joan took the geranium,petunia, the dahlia, the fern, a bunch of cucumbers and a zucchini.  I also gave some to Wilson. She has lots of beautiful tomatoes herself.  Just thrilled about that dahlia

I wasn't sure it would open.

I put a lot of the pineapple tomatoes in a bag with a half banana.  I figured if they do ripen, I'll make sauce.  Wilson can have the cherry tomatoes.

I did buy the new tomato pots and I still have $70 to use at Home Depot.

The coleus is really nice but will be gone soon.

roasted carrots, banana peppers, tomatoes, zucchini and summer squash all from the garden, and we put on pizza

I put the petunias in the front and gave them epsom salt fertilizer.  Wilson will water. We'll see what happens I took my last two little roses to her. 

There will be at least one more zucchini

I wonder how many zucchini and more and more cucumbers Aug 3, 2022

 So 4 cucumbers today and I picked the big zucchini.

I have to copy and paste pictures for some reason?

5 cucumbers today!  And I made pickles yesterday.  I am hoping that what MIGHT be a female zucchini in on the one of two plants producing.  I also picked the one summer squash. Put it in my eggs. 

So I made a new zucchini bread. Had brown sugar, yogurt, olive oil, cinnamon, chocolate chips and walnuts.  Now I have 6 breads in the freezer but i figure I need them with the Bible study group here,  family coming, then breakfast for 92: 14ers,  Tami Brown, Susan Chapman and one for Heather. 

Also made zucchini relish from the big one.  Not sure if I will make another stuffed, well, maybe next week.

The lily from P. Allen came up but I think next year it will bloom.
