I also gathered a little basket of green beans & sweet peas.
Since my garden is so small, I often harvest less than 2 servings of any given veggie. When that has happened, I've just blanched & frozen the little portions. Fresh-frozen veggies are much better than rotten ones or a meal with 4 beans!* * * * * * * * *
By June 9th the squash were ready for pickin'!
And for dinner I made about a third-recipe of Grandmommy's Cheesy Squash Casserole (without the bacon -- we were out)!
Grandmommy's Cheesy Squash Casserole
12 medium-sized yellow squash
6 slices of bacon
3/4 cup chopped onion
3 eggs beaten
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
salt & pepper to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons Worchestershire sauce
Cook squash, salted until tender; drain and mash. Cook bacon until crisp; drain well; reserve drippings. Crumble bacon into squash. Saute onions in drippings. Combine all ingredients, stirring well. Spoon into a lightly greased 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Serves 6-8

what a woman... we should get married or something.
I'm very impressed with your garden! I'm sure it's a lot of hard work, but also very gratifying! It makes me want to have one of my own, but I don't think mine would be quite as successful- I don't exactly have a green thumb! LOL! :)
i am LOVING your garden posts. you go!!!
Tara, your garden is looking good. I'm proud of you! Hugs to all! I miss you and love you,

I covet your squash. Ours didn't "bloom" this year. I don't know what happened...maybe there's a secret to planting the seeds in the right spot?
Squash casserole= my favorite! I bet it's even better with fresh squash!
I'm impressed! I'm excited about our trip to NC b/cuz my in-laws always have a garden the size of our back yard! I hope to have lots of tomato sandwiches and squarsh and zucchini....even some okra and corn!!!! Can't wait!
This sounds very tasty and the possiblities of additions to it are endless--well maybe not chocolate chips--hehe
