I'm glad I didn't keep that photo though. Ick!<br /><br />Curmudgeon, lucky for me eggplant is one of those things I'm not much in love with. I think next year I won't grow it. I can imagine it would have grown well out there. I think you all got the hottest sunniest summer ever. <br /><br />Sally, lol It is nice that I have both posts in the same day. The death and destruction and also the good harvest. It really lets you know that things can die and you can still eat out of your garden.<br /><br />Maureen, lol yeah those hornworms are really monsters. Ick! As to freezing zucchini. I grate it and put it in premeasured bags. I use it for zucchini bread and soups. BTW when it defrosts some of the water will separate. Use it all in the bread or the bread will be dry.<br /><br />Kate, yes. I would think it is just the start of the season for you in the deep south. Mild weather is approaching and things will start growing for you. Up here it is the beginning of the end though. Our summer crops are almost done. At least we have fall crops that will keep going.<br /><br />Donna, lol I think it should. Of course the garden still looks pretty nice. This post was really slanted to all the bad things that went on. All the good things have been neatly overlooked.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-33702082567806875992009-08-31T21:51:03.611-04:002009-08-31T21:51:03.611-04:00Daphne, surely you and your garden must qualify fo...Daphne, surely you and your garden must qualify for some kind of disaster relief.

The photography I have to say is great especially the dried crinkly leaves, not sure about the horrid green creepy though !!<br />Scrolling down I see you have had some really good harvests, so all is not lost.. by the way how do you freeze your zucchini's, I have never frozen any, but would like to.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540591998909116816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-65955571911975938122009-08-31T16:58:18.420-04:002009-08-31T16:58:18.420-04:00That shot of the tomato hookworm is fantastic--it ...That shot of the tomato hookworm is fantastic--it could used in a sci-fi movie.<br />I love your graphic descriptions of death and destruction.

LOL. We've had all manner of icky bugs this summer but no hornworms... yet. I wish you lived closer--I'd bring over a basket of eggplants. It is the one thing that is truly spectacular this year in our garden. We're still waiting on our first vine-ripened tomato, other than cherries.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12864042359805755661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-48717406410844092092009-08-31T12:09:06.980-04:002009-08-31T12:09:06.980-04:00Oh, I enjoyed this so much -- not the death and de...Oh, I enjoyed this so much -- not the death and destruction, oh no, but your funny take on it all.<br /><br />It was probably wise to edit out the hornworm's end. My daughters are strictly non-violent souls. Except when it comes to hornworms. I am under strict orders not to snip one without their presence. They like to gasp and groan at the gore of it all. (We did finally have one hornworm this year.)<br /><br />It's nice to know I'm not alone with all the ugliness out there in the garden; thank goodness for the loveliness that sometimes comes of it.Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04630593290368661236noreply@blogger.com
