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 :p!

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!! :lol:

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. :gig

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! :lol:

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
Mix and cook until tender and set aside to cool

CRUST
4 cups flour
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.
Sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar over top.
Bake at 375* for 30 minutes.

Don't tell them it is zuchinni and they will think it is apple....

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. :love 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) :lol:
