What a special time of year for people who love veggies. We are in the prime season for gathering in all the fresh vegetables from our garden. This is the time of the year when we get paid back for all that hard labor in planting and nurturing those lovely plants.

| And are we ever reaping the rewards this year! |
Gardener Ted has had the best crop of cantaloupe/muskmelon he's ever had.
This beauty is 9 3/4 pounds!
The garden is producing lots of peppers and cucumbers.
We're staying ahead of the zucchini, but how many zucchini cakes can one eat?

| We've had some good rains lately so GT doesn't need to water so much. However, he has "Tedgineered" quite a watering system so that he only need turn the faucet on and most of the garden is irrigated without him having to hang on to the end of the hose The compost pile is on the right side of the photo |

| Garden entrance here in the center of the photo. We finally nixed the rabbit problem with chicken wire buried 6 inches deep around the entire garden. |

| GT had a hip replacement in February. The garden is good therapy to get that hip moving and make it strong. |

Hi JQ, I always love hearing about your fabulous garden. What a bumper crop! We call zucchini "courgettes" here in the UK, and I love them. I sometimes have them fried with leeks, with a bit of white wine added, some basil, season, and then mix in with pasta. There is a great selection of courgette recipes here (although you may have to change the UK measurements to US) https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/aug/24/10-best-courgette-recipes
Looking forward to appearing on your blog on Friday - although it's not very summery here at the moment, it will be nice to have some virtual sunshine!
Helena, thanks for the recipe for zukes. Sounds like something we could try. And thanks for the link to more! Looking forward to hosting you on Friday!!
I also love seeing photos of GT's garden. What a green thumb he has!
I love looking at gardens. I wish I had paid more attention to them when I was a young girl with my grandmother's and then when I was older with my father's.
Gardening and gardens are good for the soul. <3
Amazing! I have a recipe for zucchini tacos, and one for a summer stew with zucchini, tomatoes, okra (optional), onions and whatever else you want to throw in. Interested in either of those?
Hey, JQ. What great photos and what even better eating. I bet your neighbors love you. I love to do spiral zucchini and put spaghetti sauce over it. Tasts just like pasta without the carbs. So impressed with Gardner Ted's gardening.Takes a ton of effort. I've shared. :)
Thanks, Susan. Gardeners do seem to have a connection to the soil and always an optimistic outlook that next year will always be better.
Nan--Yes, I'd be interested in those recipes. Too bad I just saw this post now and we're out of zucchini!! Next year for sure.
Marsha, Thanks for sharing! I've seen those clever spiral machines to make the noodles, but haven't purchased one yet. Very clever. This year's garden was not one of Ted's best, so he thinks. Always next year.

Mint is a very hardy and aggressive perennial, but its spreading nature doesn't always make it a good landscape plant. Mint is better kept planted in pots and contained. Agastache is a less common yet very wonderful herb that makes an excellent landscape plant. So is tough Echinacea with its beautiful blooms, which now come in many colors aside from purple and white.
