I can have a few stone fruits too, but not a lot.
I will use an over ripe apricot smashed and simmered
in butter as a topping for coconut pancakes, etc..
yeah, i like peanut butter and apple sauce on
mine at times. don't eat them very often though.
we're not huge breakfast eaters.

I haven't made coconut pancakes in a while. The wife loves
them too. But, with all the produce to cook, it will
probably have to wait for winter.

I had too many zukes this weeks. I had to freeze some
of what I cooked. Things are looking up!

I am now down to 14 zukes plants. About half of them
will produce a fruit every other week.

our cucumbers took a hit from the heavy
rains, but the vines are not dead and have
a few green leaves coming back. so we'll
leave them in, it's not like i need the space
for anything else.

When you buy your cucumbers next years and if
you remember, would you post the name of the
variety. You have made me extremely interested!

burpee cucumber and pickling cucumber that is all
the labels had written on them. if i remember i'll
ask the greenhouse people. Ma stopped in today to
drop off a few quarts of things for them -- i coulda
had her ask.

the burpee cucumbers get huge (the size of my
forearm) the other kind stay shorter. i have to
harvest about once a week when they are blooming.
right now they are on haitus abit, but a few blooms
are showing up.

Hi Songbird,

Well now. That will get me talking!

7 sweet 100 cherry tomatoes
2 Box Car Willie tomatoes
1 Ace (1/2 price) tomato

1 poblano (ancho) chili
2 Sandia Chimayo (new mexico red) peppers
1 is still sick, the other is covered with peppers.
I am going out of my mind waiting for them to turn red.

garlic
red shallots

purslane

two eggplants (1 free and 1 half price)

two sunflowers (blew in wild)

7 tomatillo (6 wild, 1 Amarillo that escaped the earwigs)

2 cantaloupes (they are not doing too well)

1 rosemary (alive, but not growing)

Not for eating: two Ponderosa pines about 18" high


Front yard is full of hollyhocks. They have mostly gone
to seed, but I still have a few flowers. My front yard
was gorgeous when they were all in bloom.

They have made a slave out of me: More water! Less water!
I'm too hot! I'm to cold! What are you doing with my offspring?
A bug! A bug! A bug! Bring me my slippers!

Okay, that last one may be a certain particular funny bunny
that seems to like me for the last 42 years.
