Squash 2013 1st Harvest! 2nd picking post #24!

[digitS']

Yep, just got some seeds into some potting soil - a little late but hadn't planned on setting them out before the last week in the month.

It is a good thing, Bay, that I don't really like summer squash . I like to grow it and enjoy the looks of both the plant and the fruit. Just don't like to eat it. And, I've tried for years & years . . . oh, I like zucchini bread !

Zucchini cobbler?

Zuchinni cobbler recipe is in the harvest and recipe section. It is sooooooooo good!

Catjac1975, in July and August, most everything in the garden will be toast! I think of your weather September-March and it makes me glad I live in Texas!!

The dog in the pic is Parker, our half Lab, half Great Dane best friend. He is my helper and sidekick in whatever I am doing. He has such enthusiam for life, that he is a joy to have. DH got him a bathtub for the backyard, so Parker has his own swimming pool.

I was going to say I never heard of zuke cobbler... we only do the bread. So I gotta see that recipe too!

Looks GREAT!!! I can't wait for our first pickings!
They're a long way off ... I lost almost everything I first planted to frost and had to reseed. So, some of my plants ... ok, most ... are just little seedlings.

I have old bed sheets that DH and I cover everything with to keep these late frosts off. They look like garden ghosts!

Hey The1honeycomb, this is for you!!


It is best to use the really big zuchinni, ya' know-the baseball bat sized ones. The crust mix made too much, so I put the extra in a zip loc bag and froze it for the next one. I also tweaked the recipe a little bit. I added twice the amount of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ginger and a dash of cloves. It made it even more yummy! Ya'll enjoy!

Zuchinni Cobbler
FILLING
8 cups Zuc. peeled and seeded use large
2/3 cup lemon juice
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup butter or oleo
cinnamon sugar to sprinkle on top

Mix crust till crumbly and pat 1/2 of crust into an oblong baking dish.
Bake that crust for 10 minutes at 375*
Place filling on baked crust and then put other 1/2 of crust mix over filling.

Major, she is a gorgeous gal! Labs can really get under your skin, can't they? Big, goofy, happy, love-you-no-matter-what best friends. DH's Lab, Danny died Christmas of 2011. The day after Christmas, our DD and DSIL adopted Parker and he has stolen our hearts. Love Labs! (and 1/2 Labs-1/2 Great Danes like our Parker)
