The one year I grew radishes as a pest deterrent during the summer they were fiery hot.

I didn't sow any this year (just too busy!), but may squeeze some in for a fall harvest - if I remember, that is. I'll have to remember to use some of the onion crème in a cucumber-yoghurt salad (one of my favourites). And all these beans everywhere are making me antsy for that first bean harvest.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-49337034329538417742015-07-20T11:43:08.036-07:002015-07-20T11:43:08.036-07:00This zucchini holds its blossoms quite well for pr...This zucchini holds its blossoms quite well for pretty much the whole day that it blooms.

This variety also tends to produce very few male blossoms after an initial flush so the zucchinis end up pointy shaped if they are left on the plant if they haven't been pollinated.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-28083542116273914912015-07-20T11:25:02.943-07:002015-07-20T11:25:02.943-07:00I don't like the sound of that place St.Mary! ...I don't like the sound of that place St.Mary!
