I have missed a few weeks from posting our garden, because in this Texas summer heat mostly everything has started to shrivel up and die. Our cucumbers are gone, and few tomatoes plants. But our Okra, and peppers are thriving, I mean thriving. Our okra plants are literally as tall as I am. They had a super slow start but now, wow its crazy how fast they are growing. Our squash has slowed down big time, but I did notice 1 yellow squash and a few zucchini’s that will be ready to pick pretty soon.
I’ve had lots of fun creating and making new and oldies recipes with all our garden produce; here are a few of our favorites if your interested.
Just click on the links and it will take you to the recipes.
Jalapeno Jelly, Chocolate Zucchini Cake, Zucchini Quesadillas, Eggplant Parmesan, Refrigerator Pickles, Homemade salsa, and Marinara sauce
The tomatoes have slowed a bit, but still producing.
We have a few watermelon’s- this one is about the size of a volleyball, I can’t wait to see how they turn out.
Our eggplants are still doing very well. I have so much eggplant in the freezer its crazy!
Here’s a picture of some of the tomatoes, bell peppers, Okra, jalapenos and Banana Peppers
