Squash and cucumbers
Previous post showed first half of the week harvest and today was second half - zucchini, squash, and alot of cucumbers.
Nearly 9 lbs o cucumbers - 8 lbs 13.9 oz total; and 7 lbs and 9.9 oz of zucchini and squash combined. I let some of them get overgrown because these were destined to my group at KISS cat rescue and those ladies like to use zucchini for bread and stuffers. Cucumbers also went to the same group.

So envious of all you harvest! lol I wonder if next summer will be this warm and dry here. Nancy
ReplyDeleteit's very hot and dry here for past 3 weeks so I've been watering everything twice a day to keep them from dying off.
DeleteNow that is an impressive harvest!
ReplyDeleteLisa
Thank you :)
DeleteBeautiful harvest of cucumbers! Will you be keeping later harvests and making pickles for yourself?
ReplyDeleteWe have already harvested alot and my fridge is stocked with them. If you scroll down you'll see it.
DeleteNice pile of cucumbers, about the right amount for a weeks worth of eating. We're still waiting for our first. It's been hot but for some reason this year the cukes are taking their time growing.
ReplyDeleteWe really don't use that many - maybe 4-5 a week. I just planted too many this time around.
DeleteBoy thats a lot of cucumbers and zukes! I can see why you want to give some away.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I will probably give away alot more since all plants are full in bloom.
DeleteSo jealous of your cucumbers!!! Mine are not doing well at all. I need to make some bread and butter pickles for the winter.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could send you some of mine. I haven't been able to find good bread-butter recipe so far.
DeleteThat is a lot of cucurbits. I finally had enough to make pickles today. I was so happy. Now I have three more sets of pickles that need to be made, but one is the refrigerator pickles so those can come in slowly if they want.
ReplyDeleteYour looked very nice and small that are perfect for pickles. I had mine as "pickle bush" but they are much larger than I hoped for. Do you have a good recipe for dill pickles by any chance? Something that doesn't taste like pure vinegar.
DeleteLooking very good! We are still a week or so away from out first cucumbers. I never thought I'd ever say these words but I'm jealous of your zucchini. We lost our two plants to bacterial wilt this year so no zucchini for us this year unless we buy some from the farmers market.
ReplyDeleteI wish you could have my zucchini because more are on the way. I planted several plants in waves thinking that I might get 1-2 before SBB hits it but they're fully producing and new wave is getting close to produce as well so I should have Romanesca soon.
DeleteOh my gosh! You are definitely in the squash and cucumbers :)
ReplyDeleteyes, we're on overload. don't even want to think what I will come home to after not picking for a week.
DeleteSo many cukes and zukes, heaven I think!
ReplyDeleteIt's too much for us so next year I won't plant as many.
DeleteNice job Jenny!
ReplyDeleteYou have got successive harvest. How many seeds you spread in land?
