I am acquainted with garlic.  What are commercial ground vegetables?

Looks fun. Takes me mentally back to the various Mrs. Dash blends. Oh the early 70's.

Those aren't cukes.. it's stir fried yu choi (similar to bok choi but skinnier stalks)

I'm looking forward to hosting one or a few of these; that is, once our "dining room" table isn't also Significant Eater's office.

Shrimp with broccoli, pre final-saucing and tossing, which cooked the shrimp to perfect doneness.

Pickled cabbage. Might be called cole slaw?

Strawberry/blueberry crisp.

Certainly a decent sized zucc....

 

I have been reading a lot about zucchini plants and their cousins.  If you are having blossom end rot, chances are the female flower is not being fertilized.  Lately I have taken to a fine paint brush, and playing matchmaker between my male and female flowers.  Fruits are getting larger and larger - no issues.  You can also remove the flower on the fruit after it has been fertilized and growth starts.

 

Also, if you have yet to try - zucchini leaves are delicious!

Corn muffins with fresh corn and corn meal, sour cream, very lightly sweetened. Baked twice so they get quite crisp.

Served savory with fresh cheeses and salad.

Some leftovers were served for breakfast, lightly toasted and with honey. Some went to the freezer.

Lack of fertilization is a real possibility along with drowning. We have had 4.5" of rain so far this month with TS Elsa arriving tomorrow.

 

Haven't tried the leaves. How are they prepared?

Over watering is an issue - I have seen some white leaf mold/mildew forming due to far too much moisture lately.  Not much to do about that.

 

Get the small-mid size leaves and just sautee with some onion and/or garlic - they have a really nice flavour, almost nutty.  Very healthy too.

So at the point before they get hairy/prickly or does the cook fix that. Unfortunately none growing now in my life. But I do see pumpkin greens for sale in Asian markets but they are more smooth.

Cook fixes that.  Just like stinging nettle.

 

I made a fantastic zucchini leaf/roasted potato soup with some frozen greens from last summer - they are also very good just as a side dish. 

 

I might try mixing some with ricotta/mozz and stuff the flowers with it.

My first attempt at making tteokbokki (need to work on the flour/water proportions), with a side of steamed rapini.
