Oddities in the Garden

We found some interesting things growing in the garden this year.  If I missed going down for a day or two I never knew what I'd uncover.

The zucchini on the left was larger than normal, but the one on the right was a 10 pounder.  That blimp went right to the trash can.  That's even too big for grilled stuffed zucchini, which has become one of our favorite ways to use the zukes.  Here is a link for the grill instructions.  The beauty of this recipe is the versatility.  I have used rotisserie chicken, hamburger, pork, quinoa, rice, a variety of veggies, spices and cheese.  So good!

Sometimes my tomatoes get wedged around the wire cage and come up with the oddest shapes.  We were debating what this one looked like.  It made me think of a vulture.  It you twisted it a little it looked like a lopsided mustache.  It has been a good year for the tomatoes.  We have picked close to 3 bushels and they are still producing quite well.  Lots of salsa and spaghetti sauce lining our shelves.
