I'm kicking myself for not tracking earlier in the season..

Started out of pure curiosity last week and the numbers are crazy! I have 2 zucchini plants, 2 summer squash plants an accidental cucumber plant(was supposed to be mini pumpkins).

Since last week (last sunday-today) I have harvested:

Zucchini: 4.9lbs

Squash: 5.5lbs

Cucumber: 4lbs

Thankfully my SO is loving broiled squash and zucchini wedges so I make a large tray for him each evening, and salted cucumber slices.

..I'm gonna need a bigger harvest basket. 🧺 💚

Everything but the limes and onions came from our garden.

10 to 12 Jalapeños

2 Banana peppers

2 Serrano peppers

1 medium red onion

6 cloves garlic

6 roma tomatoes

12 cherry tomatoes

2 limes squeezed

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup Ketchup

Summer is my favorite time of year. The garden produce is a big part of why.

Fantastic taste, average presentation. I'm probably going to double the recipe next time and roll them for a "wider" and more uniform roll.
