When I pull up broccoli plants he will run off to chow down as though I just gave him a delicious bone! I always call myself a bad Southern because I don't like grits, collard greens or okra!

Great broccoli haul & that's wonderful that you were able to meet your goal. I froze a lot of broccoli last year and boy, was it ever welcome come winter. I don't think I've actually purchased broccoli since then!<br /><br />And your comment about organic gardening & bugs made me laugh...so very true! Just like you kept your husband in the dark about the slimy okra, I keep the kids and my husband in the dark about the critters that I find in the greens before I give them their rinse :)Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261494849047025161.post-5681826050075516722016-07-12T04:06:24.988-04:002016-07-12T04:06:24.988-04:00 Sungold is a popular variety of tomato here too w... Sungold is a popular variety of tomato here too we are growing it again this year but so far it only has one or two flowers and no fruits. At least Domino left the broccoli for you. One of our plot neighbours wondered where his broccoli was going until we spotted his dog snapping the heads off the plants and eating them.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261494849047025161.post-41508428402306124402016-07-11T16:43:01.165-04:002016-07-11T16:43:01.165-04:00Great summer time vegetables.

My wife grew up in the South and absolutely detests okra, I couldn't get her to eat it no matter what the recipe. Can't blame Domino for eating the Sun Golds. You didn't expect him to eat broccoli did you?David Veltenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07710293718143454000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261494849047025161.post-44818237415112620732016-07-11T16:01:43.810-04:002016-07-11T16:01:43.810-04:00Sounds like Domino has good taste eating those Sun...Sounds like Domino has good taste eating those Sungolds! I've never tried roasting okra though. I just learned to embrace the slime. And I agree with you about dealing with the occasional bug on my food. I'd rather deal with that than wonder whats been sprayed on non-organic food. Even when I wasn't growing all organic it was still tough to keep worms off the corn. Your cucumber salad sure looks cool and refreshing!Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261494849047025161.post-25975416840309155622016-07-11T13:11:48.167-04:002016-07-11T13:11:48.167-04:00It's sad but funny about your four-legged thie...It's sad but funny about your four-legged thief. What a nice abundance of banana peppers! Corn is nowhere near ready here now, but we always have problems with damaged silks. And yes, it is earwigs that are the culprit. It's maddening. I absolutely agree that you cut out worm-damaged portions and enjoy the rest, though a non-gardener would disgustedly throw the whole thing out.Eight Gate Farm NHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877942009419912353noreply@blogger.com
