Our zucchini plants caught a fungus. One has already succumbed and died. The other two are holding on for dear life, producing their last few zucchini breaths. We will probably only have 3-4 more zucchini. It is sad, but we knew that eventually the zucchini would go out of season. We have done really well with it! And we froze quite a bit.
We are now entering the reign of the winter squash, where currently the acorn is king. But we have butternut and spaghetti squash coming in too! Hopefully we will have pumpkins soon. And of course...we will have tomatoes into September. The sun golds are slowly producing less as the brandywines amp up their production. Our garden goes on!
So far this year we have had approximately 15 pounds of zucchini, 12 quarts of sun gold cherry tomatoes, 6 brandywine tomatoes, 16 ears of corn (with more on the way!), assorted cucumbers and our winter squash. Yay for gardening. Even if I do say I hate it sometimes.
So its the end of the summer season and the beginning of the fall. Time for the best of both worlds. So enjoy the fresh produce while it is still available and enjoy!
