Your brassicas look like they're settling in very nicely. It makes me realize I need to start some seeds for fall crops.Phuonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658691564062044986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806765669512996094.post-37139377751097974802020-06-30T21:15:12.116-07:002020-06-30T21:15:12.116-07:00Hi Belinda,

I'm just thankful for the long cold spring and ladybugs that seem to have limited the bug population. I love seeing the poppies and flowers in your garden. The edible chrysanthemums are actually blooming prettily now.Phuonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658691564062044986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806765669512996094.post-84146764068108440922020-06-30T21:02:07.726-07:002020-06-30T21:02:07.726-07:00Hi Liz,

I too make something similar to your squash hashbrowns, just that I've called them zucchini pancakes. They freeze wonderfully, if you end up making a very large batch. I freeze them flat on parchment-covered baking sheets, then fill up gallon freezer bags so I can bake or fry them off all year long. I love them savory, topped with tomato sauce and some fried eggs.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14916756946513358284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806765669512996094.post-81029697308557545522020-06-23T20:35:56.523-07:002020-06-23T20:35:56.523-07:00Hi Dave,

I'm going to try growing winter squash on remesh panels next year, your plants already look amazing. It would help so much with space in the garden, and maybe I can grow all the varieties I've been dreaming of.Phuonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658691564062044986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806765669512996094.post-82632938581983059992020-06-23T20:25:09.255-07:002020-06-23T20:25:09.255-07:00Hi Shaheen,

And the Straight Neck squash is a bit troublesome to get them to germinate, this year it took a couple days of 90 degree weather (32 degrees Celsius).<br /><br />I love the fruit trees and berry bushes you have in your garden, it's so picturesque. I've been thinking hard about growing berries, but the birds are so terrible here that it makes me hesitant.Phuonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658691564062044986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806765669512996094.post-16713560874519002642020-06-23T20:10:11.245-07:002020-06-23T20:10:11.245-07:00Hi Darren,

I totally understand waiting to plant out, thank goodness seedlings are so good about catching up once they're in the ground. <br /><br />Our plants usually don't last long because of vine borers, but I'm really hopeful this year since I haven't seen any flying around at all.Phuonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658691564062044986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806765669512996094.post-10932610051271317652020-06-23T11:19:34.185-07:002020-06-23T11:19:34.185-07:00Looks like you have plenty of squash coming on too...Looks like you have plenty of squash coming on too! I tried amaranth and the bugs ate mine up, so I never really got to taste it. I like your squash patties idea. I love panko, but never thought to use it for the shredded squash.

I am esp. admiring your red veined sorrel, edible chrysanthemum and red amaranth as they are totally new to me. I am a bit sad that i am not growing round courgettes this year :( but look forward to harvesting my yellow ones. And wow Straight Neck summer squash, again another veg i have not been successful in growing. So much good stuff growing in your garden - i love it and wish i lived close to swap.Shaheenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602971207085826708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806765669512996094.post-65739977234344933912020-06-23T06:56:00.335-07:002020-06-23T06:56:00.335-07:00Those squashes look fantastic!

Ours have only just been planted out, I left them late this year after a really cold, wet start to the summer in 2019 killed most of them off last year. Fingers crossed ours will be even half as good as yours when they're ready. I'll definitely be cooking squash hash browns as well :)Darren @ Notes From the Allotmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09821717102358645262noreply@blogger.com
