Baymule's 2016 Garden

Toss up between goat and brie for my favorite cheese.

One recipe I found rolled the stuffed blossoms in bread crumbs and baked them, another used masa harina for the batter and I also printed out one that had what I guess is a traditional batter type. Now I have to go back to the grocery store for more cheese!

Toss up between goat and brie for my favorite cheese.

For me goat cheese in tarts. But I also love a good blue cheese.

I could never see the reasoning in eating the blooms when they were planted for fruits. Interesting suggestion to cull the male blossoms. NOW I see the reasoning. Might give it a try.

Also some times with zucchini, it produces so much you just can't use it all up

I watered the garden today. We have had so much rain, that I haven't had to water it much. Last week we had so much sunshine and got 2 rainy days to bust that week long drought! We are having another week of sunshine, so I watered the garden.

I picked another 19 squash! That makes a total of 124 now. We are having squash fritters tonight! I pulled 2 yellowed almost dead potato vines and got 3 medium potatoes and 6 small ones. These were the free seed potatoes from the feed store because the planting season was gone way past time. So I got potatoes that were planted late, and we will have them for supper tonight.

I planted yellow wax beans and most of them didn't come up. But I actually have some beans out there, I'll maybe get enough for a meal or two, but it sure feels good to get something!

I have 8 bell pepper plants and I have little bells on them!!

And the black oil sunflowers are opening their blooms. They have 5-6 sunflowers per stalk!

The tomatoes are loaded and we wait anxiously for a ripe one. I found one tiny cucumber on one of the few vines that I have. Some things are a total bust, there are some that we'll get at least a meal or two, and some that (squash) that are or will produce a LOT. We are delighted to be getting anything and know next year it will be even better.

Things are looking good despite the heat.

Good to see your hard work being rewarded.

Love that sunflower. I got 1 bell pepper from the $2.99 plant. I think they are $1 at the store.
