JUNE Recipe (Without the Recipe) from the Garden: Zucchini Bread

Since my last garden post, you can see that the zucchini plants have grown a bit! That stuff is crazy, out of control and we have gotten quite a few mammoth zuchinnis from it!! Short of giving it all away, I need to become more creative with it.

That would be the zucchini plants on the left, towards the center.

You really can't go wrong with zucchini bread...

I would post the recipe for this zucchini bread but I honestly don't want to because zucchini bread recipes are so easy to find and I'm really just too lazy to post it! ;)

MAY Recipe from the Garden: Fresh Strawberry Yogurt Cake

I hesitated whether or not I should post this since it was from May but I thought it was necessary because the recipe is VERY yummy. So yummy that my neighbor (who I had shared some cake with) asked me to make one for a work get together and paid me to do it!  

This is our garden back in May when it was tame and under control...

We have strawberries at the other end of the garden. We also have watermelon, zucchini, carrots, cucumbers and peppers. 

This picture doesn't give this cake justice. Go here for the recipe and some good pictures!

Try it, you will be very happy you did!! 

The Garden, Early June

This garden box was my birthday, Mother's Day and anniversary gift from Chris. It's great (you can't tell from these pics but it's raised about 3 - 4 ft. off of the ground)...it keeps all the critters out, big (like the dog) and small (rabbits and such)! If only I could keep the kids from digging in it....I know, wishful thinking!! Tongue depressors identify what's planted in each row...asparagus, green beans...

cucumbers, carrots, jalapenos (by the wood post)... Madelin really wants the carrots to grow! :)

This is a mess of weeds and peppers...

and strawberries.
