The Garden Just Keeps on Giving!

Hello again!  What a wonderful week this has been here in Lancaster, PA!  The temperatures have been in the high 70's and low 80's daily with nightime temps in the mid to high 50's.  The garden has responded to all the sunshine and warmth. The plants we started on August 5 are thriving as if it were late spring. I normally think of the late crop of veggies as being smaller in both size and amount produced.  That's not the case this year.  Leaf lettuce, garden beans, zucchinis, butternut squash and bell peppers are all heading into our kitchen every three to five days. The highlight of the week was two pounds of  the garden beans.

                                                  
The green beans were quickly placed in the "crockpot cooker" and served that evening.

                            And one of the butternut squash soon became a pie.

 

 The bell peppers are soon to be picked and stuffed.

 

 

So, all-in-all, it's been a great week.  And I'm hoping for another one coming up!
