I'm a day late in posting this week's garden update. I've been extremely busy, yet still behind in every project/chore that needs working on. Beginning tonight we'll have house guests for the next 4 weeks. We've been trying to complete projects on the house while keeping up with the yard. Repeat~ "Trying"
However, I'm falling more & more behind each day. So, I figured a day late with this garden update is better than nothing, right? I have several more posts planned and I'll do my best to post here a few times each week, updating with the garden & other little goings on.
Here's what's happening in the garden this week............

June 23rd- Zucchini & Cucumber
I probably picked these a little too early. This was the first zucchini to be harvested. The other 2 that were almost this size began to yellow & rot and I was worried this one would follow. It was cut up and put it in our spaghetti sauce that night.
The cucumber was cut up and went into our salads, but was a little bitter. It's a Parisian Pickling Cucumber so maybe they aren't meant for eating raw?
That's the garden update this week. I made a lot of strawberry jam and baked strawberry bread & muffins. I'll be posting about all of that soon, but need to work on some house guest preparations. Feel free to comment & tell me what's growing in your gardens and if you have any rabbit proofing tips, I'd appreciate hearing those!
