Help with my Zucchini Harvest: Part II

By Justin Weinger 2 Comments

I should have suspected that ideas for zucchini may be just as bountiful as the vegetable itself! If you're up to your ears in zucchini this summer, I highly recommend you read the comments on yesterday's Help With Keeping Up with Zucchini post.  I truly appreciate your good advice and links to recipes!

My Very First Vegetable Garden

By Justin Weinger 2 Comments

I have a black thumb.  I am an equal opportunity plant killer.   I've killed the hardiest of houseplants.  I've killed flowers my sweet little boys have planted just for me for Mother's Day.
