My Zucchini have Squash Bugs. This is an annoying and rather gross part of Gardening. Annoying because now I really need to pay attention to how my plants are doing. Gross because I need to squish all the bugs (and their eggs that I can). I don't normally get skirmish, but the idea of needing to squash as many squash bugs as possible does not really sound like fun. Of course I could just dump them all in a bucket of soupy water... Either way I'm about to go on a murderous rampage to defend my Zucchini.
Murderous rampages aside (or actually an update on past murderous rampages), the weeds have finally been made to behave themselves. Of course it took a lot of cardboard boxes and more then a lot of mulch. At least the flowers look better now. Tonight I'm looking forward to doing some killing (for bugs), eating dinner with friends (this is one case were I'm not going to be eating what I killed), and just enjoy being outside.
The only thing I have to do now is figure out what to do with all the Zucchini that I have in my fridge. I've have Zucchini almost every day (sometimes twice a day), for the last two weeks. I'm running out of different ways to make Zucchini. I might have to freeze some. I've made squash with cheese, squash tomato sauce, Squash and parm filled crescent rolls (using Pillsbury rolls), and my roommate made an amazing chocolate squash bread (which is more like cake). Idea's anyone?
