Last night was supposed to get down to 30 degrees between midnight and 8 AM. After debating covering plants and crossing my fingers, I decided instead to harvest everything I could. Between a business trip last Wednesday and Saturday, and the sudden need to harvest everything to save it from the freeze, there was a [...]

It’s hot hot hot, but then, you knew that. My lettuce is a little bitter about the heat, but everything else is loving it. Good Garden Helpers Despite the heat I got a lot done this week. Mostly that was because I hired two good garden helpers to come help me catch up with the [...]

We still have a long ways to go, but the Fridley Farm is finally getting planted. Last night we managed to plant the beans. Some of the black dirt I added this year went to making garden strips along much of our fenced in back yard. We planted up close to the fence, and on [...]

Yes, we’re still eating summer squash. We are down to the last couple of summer squashes. These toast pizzas were good, and fast. Spaghetti sauce from a can with spinach, tomatoes, squash, banana peppers, jalapenos and cheese on top. The bread we used was fairly dense, and helped keep the sauce on top. I don’t [...]

I made two squash related mistakes this year. I only planted them about 18 inches apart, and I forgot to label them.

Our Fridley garden has continued to pump out summer squash and zucchini and we have been using them as often as we can. I hope you enjoy this recipe. Using summer squash instead of noodles is an easy and yummy substitution when making homemade macaroni and cheese. I’m not a fan of Easy Mac, but [...]
