Ready or Not....... Shouldvknwnbetter- Fall

[Hens and Roos]

luckily her eye didn't swell up much at all and it wasn't very noticeable- it looked like she had eye shadow on one eye. Kids are getting ready for fair this coming week so lots to get ready!

Glad she wasn't hurt badly. We all get our lumps and bumps when dealing with animals. The important thing is to get right back in the game, and she has. Fair time! What fun!

I was late getting my garden going, have green tomatoes out there. Usually by now, I would have canning done, jars of dehydrated tomatoes for winter salads and we would be eating all we could. The only ripe tomatoes we have had so far have come from a few volunteers. Yay for volunteers!

We have blooms just starting on ours and our summer squash plants have small squash starting so we will be checking them daily to make sure the squash doesn't turn into the size of small baseball bats!

I let my zucchini turn into baseball bats on purpose. I make fruit roll ups out of them.
Quarter, seed and peel 4 baseball bats.
Cut into 1" or smaller chunks.
Simmer in 1 can of frozen grape juice and enough water to cover.
When translucent, drain well.
Puree in blender with 1 can of frozen grape juice concentrate, undiluted.
Pour on solid sheets in the dehydrator.
Dust with confectioners sugar and layer between wax paper.

Don't worry, they won't do that unless you wait to pick them until the day after you see the 2" squash

true...hoping to get a few medium sized ones as DS(13) is making zucchini bread as one of his fair projects

My grand daughters love it. You can shred zucchini, measure it for zucchini bread and freeze it for winter.

We do shred the extra and freeze for later use!

We use a lot of different kinds of relish and love it made with the different kinds of squash. Since we don't use sugar it's relatively low calorie if that's considered.
