My parents have taken their annual trip to Japan to see their grandchildren. As they are like many people I know, they run out of time to get everything done around the house and yard before leaving. Sound familiar? As this was the case again for this trip, Mom asked me if I would be willing to go out and harvest some stuff from her garden "so that the birds won't get all of it." So I drove out last night and harvested some items.

rutabaga, carrots, butternut squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, raspberries, zucchini and a LOT of basil
So it would appear that I will be canning tomatoes, making pickles and pesto, and most likely a LOT of zucchini bread. This is why I say a LOT of zucchini bread:

The fork is for perspective, it is a full size dinner fork.

Remember when Mom used to win the biggest vegetable at the county fair every year with a zucchini? She would always plant one to make giant fruit and the others for eating.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking care of the garden, I'll take care of the parents for a few days :)
