It’s the tag-end of zucchini season here, (almost Oct) but I’m going to buy some at the farmer’s market JUST for this recipe. Thank you!

Hi, brand new here, first “real” garden in over ten years — and my first garden didn’t even produce radishes, so I’m starting from the be-gin-ning!

My current method is definitely a mix– NO pesticides, “what do I hate paying $4 or more per pound for?” and “What looks really interesting?”. I consider myself very lucky that my teenage boys are food-friendly– when I said I wanted to grow white eggplant, their only questions were, “will it taste the same on the grill?” and “can we grow white pumpkins, too?”

Your post was a great help in two ways: keeping me enthused, and reminding me that I do *not* have the entire back yard converted into gardening space, so I *must* pick and choose what to plant.

Besides, with intercropping, I’ll get to those purple carrots sooner or later…

It is not clear from this picture that this is a definitely a chanterelle at all.

There are some gilled mushrooms that look v. similar.

This was excellent! I used red chard and the sauce was a fabulous wine-red color. This is the first year that I have grown swiss chard, and I have been looking for some good recipes. This one wins, hands down!
