Saturday on the Farm
I’ve been busy this week trying to stay caught up with preserving out harvest. The zucchini is staying ahead of me, though. lol I shredded 5 two cup bags worth of zucchini this week and put them in the freezer. In the big bag in the back, you can see two other small bags I already froze. I put the small bags inside a big bag to keep them from falling all over the freezer. And my toes. lol I have about 6 or 7 zucchinis waiting to do something with. As soon as I get the energy, I want to can pineapple zucchini.
Here’s some of what we harvested this week. Zucchini, raspberries and what we think might be the last picking of the green beans. There’s still some out there, but we have to make sure we save enough for next years seeds.
And more red raspberries another day.
Here’s my helper Hannah picking an Armenian Cucumber.
Here’s my youngest, Zach with our harvest that morning. Two Armenian Cucumbers, yellow squash, a tomato and a green pepper. yum!
I was surprised this week with two more Hibiscus flowers. Beautiful.
Have you harvested any interesting vegetables lately, or had any surprise flowers?

You know I love zucchini (named my blog after them)!
What is an Armenian cucumber? I know about Calvinism vs Armenianism but I’m pretty sure cucumbers don’t hold an opinion on “once saved always saved.” lol
