So Close . . .

We went to a dish to pass party yesterday, to which I brought a large cucumber salad. That, plus the pickles my sister-in-law made with the MiL, actually used up all the cucumbers in the refrigerator. A cucumber-less crisper drawer during cucumber season, as any gardener knows, is a damn miracle.

Plus, I used several more zucchini for a side dish for dinner last night and then gave a few more to a family member, so I only had one--ONE!--left in the refrigerator. Alleluia!

Then I went out to the garden last night and refilled both the cucumber bag and the zucchini drawer in the refrigerator in one harvesting session.

Squash always wins.

This is so my life right now. The squash are marching on the rest of the garden, determined to conquer all other vegetables.

Anyone in the area stand warned: lock your car doors. You might come out of the church or the store and find a pile of cucumbers or zucchini in the backseat.

I'm sure if there's too much food, you could donate it somewhere...
