Drowning in Cukes...and Tomatoes and Zucchini

We've harvested at least one cucumber and a zucchini or yellow squash every day for the last couple of weeks. The tomatoes are going strong, too. Mostly cherry tomatoes are ripe, but we did pick a Mortgage Buster a couple days ago.

Karl opened up the hive late last week and was very happy to see larvae. Seems our queen must have left the mason jar and when straight back into the hive. The hive seems really strong so Karl put another super on top. The hive is now as tall as he is.

    Here is a great recipe for those Zucchini:

    Zucchini Soup:

    1 slice bacon cooked and crumbled (turkey bacon ok)
    4 cups sliced zucchini
    1/4 cup chopped onion
    1 clove garlic, chopped
    1/2 cup beef (or chix or veggie) broth
    1/4 tsp basil
    salt and pepper

    Simmer everything in a saucepan until zucchini is tender. Then puree in a blender/food processor.
    Serve hot and sprinkle with parmesean cheese.

    Enjoy!
