Show off! My poor old zucchinis have got so much powdery mildew on
them that I'll be amazed if I get another zucchini off them before
the frosts come.

gloat I have both fresh-frozen blackberries and shredded
zucchini in my freezer ... and several gallons of muscadines .

I haven't seen a muscadine in years, most people that buy land with
muscadines cut them down so they won't be in the way. Between
muscadines and possum grapes we used to make lots of jellies and
jams. I miss them but the builders don't like them.

What are you going to do with them?

Wine and jelly/jam . Might make some juice , the wife had a recipe for
grapes that should work .

Should work just fine. I've made all of the above with muscadines many
moons ago. Kids liked the juice, we like the wine, everyone liked the
jelly.

Friend in Louisiana had domestic muscadines, both the purple and the
green ones. They were also tasty fresh. Never understood the guy, had
four or five pear trees, muscadines growing on the hurricane fence, he
never did anything with them. We would go and pick over a hundred lbs of
pears for canning, offer him jars of the stuff, turned it down. I miss
his trees and vines since we moved back to Texas. We had lots of free
picking spots with folks who had inherited fruit trees, etc. and never
did anything with them. One friend cut down four very nice pear trees
because they were littering her yard. What a waste.
