Winter's Grape Leaves

Winter’s Grape Leaves

It turns out that Winter’s recipe was not an original. She got it from a website called http://allrecipes.com . This is a website where friends share recipes. Since the byline says “All Rights Reserved”. I will not repeat the recipe here. The name of the recipe is “Figs Oozing with Goat Cheese”. I could not find it by following links; but there is a search tool bar and the title can be inserted and the recipe will be found. Michael said it was wonderful. He did not save one for me.

A friend is making pickles today. I am jealous. She also has tomatoes already. Maybe she will give me a couple. The hanging tomato plant that I started is still alive; but it is not growing. I think the tomato plant I used was too big. Three that I planted in the ground from the same source at the same time are doing great.

The garden really looks great; but the yield so far is pretty disappointing. The squash are the bright spots. We have been picking a lot of yellow crookneck squash and a few zucchinis and patty pans. The patty pans are my favorites. The spaghetti squash are growing rapidly and blooming. So far there is only one female blossom. They usually bloom a little later than the male blossoms. If they don’t produce something this year, that space allotment will go to regular winter squash next year.
