I'm with you on the garlic scape pesto Ben! My first year this year, making it from the hardnecks I planted last year. All of it turned out great, and I can't wait to plant the hardnecks again! I actually froze some pesto to put on the Ford hook lima beans that I am growing.

I have a suggestion on how to make more storage for you guys! Build bench seating for your dining room table with a hinging tops. You can put a removable shelf in the middle so you can stack glass jars in 2 layers. Or you can put food grade buckets in it to free up space in other areas. I know you said you need places to store preserve food. Just an idea.

Yes, the US labor force participation rate is higher than it’s been since the start of the pandemic, and less than a percentage point off what it was before then. It’s not that “nobody wants to work.’ Rather, some employers are finding it harder to hire people for the wages and conditions they’re offering.

The spaghetti squash I could take it or leave it. I needed to look into how to cook the spaghetti squash and some more recipes I like better.

We love our golf cart! We bought it from a family member that had lost a spouse (my aunt) that we use at the river cabin but since getting our new homestead, it definitely makes getting around and hauling small stuff easier! Because of the back step, it kept getting drug on concrete so we lifted it and put bigger tires on it as well. Now we have no problem with loading-unloading or hills-sudden ditches and getting hung up. Yes, it over and doesn't feel like I even got started good! Lol

I live alone and I can only grow a couple of large pots of ordinary potatoes in my space, so it's enough for me, but the difference from the first pot harvested to the second pot a month later was astounding. I harvested the first and covered the second one to prevent it being a mud bath dig. I was growing Charlotts, my favourite waxy potato. It was more than double the first pot, and larger potatoes. So, when you think it's harvest time for spuds, cover and wait another month after chopping down the stems, they carry on growing :)

Years ago and uncle from California brought some Tahitian squash to us. They were 4 1/2 feet long. We would just hack off 6 inches or so to cook and put saran wrap on the cut end and the rest of the squash would keep until the next time we cut off a hunk. They were delicious I haven’t seen them since❤

Now I want to make Chicken Pesto pasta. It looked really good! Trombocino squash is fun to grow. I grew a few plants on a trellis 4 years ago & a few grew to 6 feet long. Entered the biggest one at my county fair & it got a blue ribbon. Might grow some unusual things to enter in the fair next year, it is fun. I’ve been cleaning up my garden too. Pole beans decided they were done 4 weeks ago. Really surprised me, was getting beans until the end of September last year. Purple Cherokee tomatoes have been very slow to ripen, still have plants loaded with green tomatoes & hoping they hurry up and ripen before the night time temperatures drop below 50 & the plants die. May need to drag out the frost cloth & cover them at night for a while.

Try this for a delicious way to prepare Cushaw . Peel it , scoop out the pulp & seeds . I use a good vegetable peeler .Then cut it into 2 inch cubes . Start sauteing the cubes in a frying pan with enough olive , etc oil to prevent sticking . When about half cooked thru , add a few pats of butter , drizzle real maple syrup over it & sprinkle with cinnamon . Cook on low heat . I also sprinkle coconut & walnuts in . Cook till done , but not mushy . IT IS DELICIOUS !! The very 1st Cushaw we bought was from our favorite apple orchard . All I knew was it was a winter squash . The owner said that most of the ' pumpkin ' pies in restaurants are actually made from Cushaw .

You are so right about squash knowing you want them to grow! This year ONE tromboncino survived the drought. I was so, so proud. It had one squash, and a serious mess of male and female flowers when I had last checked it. But I very carefully moved its vine so it would stay in the bed, because it was heading across and area that gets mowed, into the cow field of our neighbor. A few days later I went out there, the vine was yellow, and my one squash bounced. Boinga, boinga. Like a slinky. I literally cried. Maybe next year.
