Never heard of zucchini cake though. Onion cake. Now there's something I do know. I made it myself a couple of times although the kids aren't that fond of it. rOZZ Music Pictures |

Mystery zucchini - please help me identify... Mystery solved! I saw a bin of these squash at the farmer's market today and I asked the vendor what it was. She said it was a Crostata Romanesco Zucchini. These zucchini make great savory baked dishes and they are fantastic thinly sliced and sauteed. |

Mystery zucchini - please help me identify... When Mom and I grew a garden We grew zucchini and yellow crook neck squash, on the squash I had to scrub them with a potato brush to get rid of the prickly little hairs, then they were sliced thinly and cooked in some tap water and then She or I added butter and pepper to them, as to the zucchini I think We did the same, except I think We omitted the pepper and the butter and instead used tomato sauce or something, but it's been so long, only the squash comes through clearly as I cooked that a lot. @ Searcher, nice garden, that looks really good.

It sounds like you have some nice memories of gardening and cooking with your mom, Vic. My dad always had a beautiful vegetable garden and I learned a lot from watching him work in it. Every spring when I plant my vegetables I hear my father's voice in my head telling me how to plant things. Whenever my nieces and nephews come over, I try to involve them in gardening when I can. My little nephew Nicolas, age 22 months, "helped" me pick string beans last weekend. |

We grew carrots, green beans, lima beans, beefsteak tomatoes and corn, My Brother also did the same on a plot of land in South Carolina years ago before He retired from the US Navy, but on a larger scale, My ancestors were mainly farmers, with some branching out into business and the US Military(My Grandpa was a Police Chief and a City Councilman and a relative by the nickname of Pearl was a Union Army 2 Star General) and that's only on My Dads side, Moms side comes from Texas and was there way before Texas was even a Republic as they'd emigrated from Kentucky at one time I was told and one relative walked from Kentucky to Texas next to a Conestoga Wagon, the type pulled by a pair of oxen...

Anybody got anything left from summer? I still am harvesting tomatoes, but my beans are getting stringy and "poddy". My remaining jalipenos are bright red, but I actually like them that way. I had hoped to get a second cutting of basil, but the leaves I'm getting are not of good quality. The squash have basically succumbed to mildew. I don't usually plant fall crops, although many of my gardening friends do. Anybody in this climate put in a fall garden? |
