I fermented in past ripe tomatoes only. People ferment green tomatoes as well. I never tried fermenting them my self, they did taste great. Will try this year.

Zucchini pancakes are easy to make.
1 grated zucchini (medium grate)
1 egg
2 tbs flour
pinch of salt
1 tsp sugar
add any spices you like or do not add anithing

Just mix and fry on any oil you prefer on low (on 3 if 1 to 10 electric stove) under the lid. Can be served with sour cream, honey, condensed sweetened milk or plain.

Thank you for the recipe. It sounds yummy!! I will make some this weekend for our breakfast. I have some zucchini plants still pumping out the zucchini!

I love patty pan squash. I have not tried fermenting them, but I bet they are good. I did not grow any this year, but I think I will next year. I have a friend who pickles zucchini. They taste similar to regular pickles.

We are having another heat wave this week. I woke up early and dug up most of the German butterball potatoes.

German Butterball Potatoes. The first row of potatoes were a bit smaller than I anticipated. But, the plants had a bit more morning shade than the rest.

Please share

Yes, I will send you my recipe soon. Lot's of recipes on the web that look and sound delish for red tomato bacon jam. You can sub black tomatoes in place of the red and I use a combination of maple syrup and brown sugar to sweeten it up. My jam tastes like a really good , thick, sweet and spicy barbecue sauce.

The Serengeti French filet beans are still going strong. They made a comeback when I thought they were petering out a few weeks back. It keeps going and blooming. This bean is extremely productive as I have had at least five big pickings so far. We have had a lot of rain over the last few week's, with more rain in the forecast for this week. The leaves and beans are starting to get brown spots, so if it continues and spreads I will be pulling up the plants.

Our family came up for a visit and stayed with us over Labor Day weekend, and our grandson wanted to help me in the garden. He helped me pick green beans to go with our potatoes for dinner.. He is our little helper..
