|    Zucchini    |

      From: michael.trew@att.net              It was mentioned on here not long ago about end rot. My zucchini plants       took off, and are huge. I picked one over a foot long today that seemed       quite solid, but the two others I picked were shorter, and the ends were       starting to rot. Is there a reason for this? I think I'll just chop       the bad end off.              I gave one of the soft-end ones to my neighbor who's going to fry it.       I'm in a debate what I'll make, but I might batter and fry some of it,       serve with tomato sauce, and shred the rest of the zucchini for zucchini       bread. As is tradition, my cabbage was half eaten, and the ones that       weren't eaten look like they'll amount to nothing, for some reason. At       least the groundhogs are leaving my zucchini alone this year.              I haven't grown green beans in years, and I left many of them on the       vine too long. The pods swelled up and became too firm. My tomato       plants are huge, but I've only had a few ripe tomatoes so far. Bell       peppers and banana peppers didn't grow much. I don't have a single bell       pepper ready. I haven't hardly looked at the other bed with potatoes,       onions, garlic, and horseradish. I think I planted leeks this year,       too. Watermelon, carrots, and a few other things I'm forgetting.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
