Hi All,
My 08-04-2018 harvest: https://ibb.co/gt07Qp From top right to bottom left 9 Ron-de-nice Zukes rosemary 7 golden zukes potato onions purslane 2 anaheim peppers cherry tomatoes 2 ichiebon eggplant I made Ratatouille. The peppers were the magic ingredient. Am I now officially upgraded from a black thumb to a grey thumb? I sincerely appreciate all the help you guys gave me in getting to this point. Next year, I grow less zukes. My freezer is filling up! (I will have to cope!) -T |

Am I now officially upgraded from a black thumb to a grey thumb? you're in an arid climate, i'd say dusty gray is likely a suitable color... water, organic matter, cover crops, worms, windbreaks, partial shade, swales, chop and drop, etc. :) I sincerely appreciate all the help you guys gave me in getting to this point. Next year, I grow less zukes. My freezer is filling up! (I will have to cope!) looking good! tomatoes starting to come in here. about the normal time. red peppers, onions, beans, cucumbers, dill. songbird |

Spent about 120 U$D on organic chicken poop based fertilizer from Wally World. I wonder if I will make it back? |

We often just cut them into 3/8" disks, fry in olive oil until the brown a bit (be patient) then hit them with salt and pepper with some grated parm. We take turns cutting them in half and leaving the other half slice to the other person, frying pan after frying pan etc. ;) -- Wilson 44.69, -67.3 |

After all, the definition of a small town is that you have to lock your car doors or you will find your back seat filled with zucchini! :-) I tried giving some to my neighbor on Saturday, but no one was home and I thought it would be a bit tacky just to leave them on his from door step. |
