My English cucumber problem. Soooo I have about 20 of these, ripe/organic/wrapped. Need to know ideas on how to eat/cook/freeze. All I can think of are vague canapés and quiche. I also have a lot of bell peppers, onions, squash, green beans and grape tomatoes. Hmmmm. #Vegetables#Cukes#Cucumbers#Food
I’m sure many here may know of this, but for those that don’t, here’s a good way to start carrots. They are mixed 1 seed packet in a pre made cornstarch (2tb) to 1 cup water. When cooled, mix in seeds, put in plastic bag, cut one corner, and pipe into shallow “ditch”, cover and water. It helps spread seeds, reducing thinning and keeps seeds moist. I’ve used it on poppy seeds too. #gardening#vegetables#carrot#seeds
Supper was super tonight. Spaghetti (of course) and air fryer crispy eggplant. More of the creations from the haul of produce I shared Saturday. #Food#Vegetables#Eggplant#AirFryer

A whole lotta these made the base for my spaghetti sauce. Blanching and peeling took a long time. The pot began cooking a few hours ago and I just added in the pressure cooked carrots, celery, onion, green pepper, fresh basil and garlic. Another hour at a low simmer and then puree time. I freeze 2 cups at a time in ziplock bags flat. That way I can thaw the right amount quickly. Happy time. #Tomatoes#Vegetables#Food
I just received a nice surprise. I pulled a few carrots for tonight's dinner, and this is what I found. I planted the Dragon carrot seeds two years ago. I suppose this explains why I had two separate mass-sproutings this winter! Either way, Yum!
The Kazakhstani government has pledged year-round access to locally grown vegetables at reasonable prices by the end of 2025. This commitment was made during an extensive meeting chaired by Vice Prime Minister Serik Zhumangarin, as reported by Premierminister.kz....
Of the carrots I sowed last autumn for a March crop, only one has survived. However, it tasted superb, with a juicy, crunchy texture, much nicer than the store-bought, chemical-laden carrots.
I grow all my vegetables organically, without nasty chemicals.
