I had planned to save my medium-and-small sized potatoes as seed potatoes, but then realized that I don't want to grow these varieties again. What to do with the seed potatoes?
Throw them in an egg and sausage dish for a neighborhood brunch!
Mornings are my walk around the garden time, and some days I get company. We had our breakfast out there too.
Just in time, as the tomatillo onslaught has been tamed, comes the next overwhelming harvest. Cucumbers continue to overwhelm.
That particular first ripe bean won't bother anyone ever again, because my helper munched it up.
The end of the morning walk yielded a whole whack of stuff. I could hardly get it all in the house.
The rest of Sunday was spent making pickles. Yesterday I did bees, and today it's enchilada sauce and honey. All day long. I'm feeling the push push push of the summer garden, and the tomatoes aren't even done.

OOOHHHH tell me there's a bee post coming soon!
I actually have a jar or two with your name on it. . . we'll do email.
Your squash and cucumbers look great! We're feeling the push too. I've spent the entire day in the kitchen making peach jam, and pickling beets! I'm beet...I mean beat! :P
I adore the summer garden. If I don't do a morning walk about - then it is in the evening. One way or another I have to spend at least a little time in the garden just admiring and assessing what is going on in it.
Beans will soon be on my list of "big crops to deal with" too. I am a week or so away from that happening but it will seem like over night.
Every time I get started with something something else gets in the way. So instead of weeding amongst the sweet corn, I dig up potatoes, instead of planting out the pak choi and kohlrabi I pick tons of pears. It's never ending! Your pattypan squash is looking good. Mine produce a load of leaf but hardly any fruit to speak of, despite being pampered. I shan't bother with them again.
Your harvest looks amazing. Those pattypan squash are so pretty in themselves, it's almost a shame to eat them. But how do you keep up?
One thing that has worked out really with our attempt at square-foot gardening this year is the beans: they mature in more reasonable amounts, rather than the typical tsunami.
I LOVE the variety of cukes you've got. My husband would be in pickle heaven. :) What are the gooseberry-looking things piled up in the middle?
What a nice haul of cucumbers. I love seeing the little one eating fresh veggies in the garden. That in itself is one of the biggest benefits of having a family garden in this day and age, making it all so very worth while.:)
Those squash are really pretty, it does seem a shame to eat them! We get loads of little potatoes too, but I tend to give them a quick boil and make potato salad.
Yum, potatoes, eggs, and sausage!
I can barely get enough caffeine into my system before the garden inspection tour starts in the morning here. It's been a bit too foggy and chilly in the AM to actually do breakfast out there though. It's nice to see that you're not the only one enjoying the garden tours, and with free samples who could resist?
I'm still waiting for cukes and beans.....
I love throwing potatoes in with eggs. Great combo.
