Today's Bounty

Harvested by Erika, Aminah, Nadia, and Nasir. 

Today, upon inspection, we realized we had been blessed with an abundance of squash. Again! Thank you Allah. So what to do with it?
I decided to make squash enchiladas and zucchini bread. And we still have more. We are enjoying the benefits of growing our own food, even on this small scale. When we planted (late) this year we were not sure we would reap the benefits but with the inevitable earthquake coming better to be safe than sorry.
(As i was proofing this an earthquake hit.)

Same recipe. 2 different flours. taste test.

Thanks to Sis. Salamah and Sis. Tonja for probing me about what is to become of the garden. I decided to do an experiment. I pruned 2 squash plants. I have never done this. Not sure you are supposed to. And mistakenly I cut one that had a few small zuccs on it. Oh well. We also uprooted a lot of the green bean plants. We plan to let a few go to seed. Never done this before either. There were a few out there that looked like it is a possibility in the near future. We hope so. I have some reading to do to help me figure this out. Nonetheless, I also discovered that i have a lot of worm tea on hand. So  we watered the plants with it. not the tomatoes tho. I don't think we will get to reap the benefits of those.
Basically we started a few new projects today. Thanks Sisters.
Wondering what we will see within the next week.

1. Will the worm tea improve the appearance of the plants. It has a lot of nitrogen so i am thinking they will look even greener.
2. Will the worm tea improve growth? In a week?
3. Will the seeds we get from the green beans reproduce?
4. What are the effects of pruning a squash plant? I am not sure we will get this question answered. I didn't intend to cut off new growth. I was trying to see if they would grow even faster with all energy going to them instead of a huge plant. But we shall see.
5. We put the pulled up green bean plants into the chicken coop. I wonder if the chickens will find the leaves as appetizing now that they have easy access.

I believe that is it, for now. Gardening always provides me (us) with the opportunity to learn.

Peace took this photo today.
