Hi Reader

You know those neighbors who show up every summer all excited, handing you an oversized baseball bat zucchini full of seeds?

"Oh wow... thanks so much..."

Meanwhile, you're wondering what exactly you're supposed to do with this thing.

Here's my unsolicited zucchini opinion: pick them younger.

Not only do younger zucchini taste better, they're more tender, easier to cook with, and harvesting regularly often encourages your plants to keep producing.

...which sounds wonderful until suddenly you have MORE zucchini.

I've gathered together my favorite zucchini recipes, freezing tips, harvesting advice, and even how to grow zucchini successfully in one place.

From breakfast casseroles and cornbread to creamy spaghetti, pizza slices, and cake, you'll find practical ways to use up the harvest.

Laura Lawrence Hi Reader Well… The preserving season I warned you about? It arrived. 😅 My famous purple podded pole beans are starting to come in, gardens are producing, and before long we’ll be doing what feels like endless preserving. And honestly… This is one of my favorite times of year. The messy counters. The steam. The jars lined up. The satisfaction of seeing shelves slowly fill. Soon I’ll be doing large batches of tomato sauce cooked outdoors over the fire (because keeping that heat...

Laura Lawrence Hi Reader Look not all gardening is pretty and front news worthy. I like to teach both sides of the coin, there's the good, the bad and the ugly. Today is some ugly, because gardening is not perfection. It's learning to see the ugly, perhaps try to help it. Some you win, and trust me some you do not. It's about getting out there, sweating, swearing and learning. Constantly learning. God made us to be outside, growing our food and working the land. Period. The ugly and all. Hit...

My favorite way to brew herbal tea: Bring water to a boil, turn the heat off, add your herbs, cover, and let...
