Here's one thing you probably haven't tried with your zucchini: jam.

Yes, jam.

Grate it, cook it low and slow with a little olive oil, garlic, and salt until it caramelizes, and spread it on toast.

It sounds weird.

It is weird.

But it's also kind of incredible — sweet and savory and exactly the thing you didn't know you wanted to do with that giant zucchini you've been avoiding. Takes a little more effort than the tomato spread from last week, but worth it for the look on people's faces when you tell them what they're eating.

Look at these! Aren't they gorgeous? 🪷

But this yarrow isn't here because it's pretty — it's here because it's useful.

Yarrow attracts bees, butterflies, and ladybugs, the kind of insects that pollinate our vegetables and eat the ones we don't want around. It blooms all summer, barely needs water, and comes in every shade of pink, peach, and white you can imagine.

Nice to look at *and* useful 🐝

Got a bag full of tomatoes and wondering what to do with them all? 🍅

Try pan con tomate also called tomaca. It's a Spanish breakfast staple that's embarrassingly easy. Grate your tomatoes into a bowl, add some garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. Toast some bread, spoon it on, hit it with a little salt. Done.

It's especially great for tomatoes that are a little soft or funny-looking. Make a big batch and keep it in the fridge all week. Scrambled eggs and tomato toast is a breakfast worth waking up for 🌞

Meet our tiny veggie bodyguards! These marigolds aren't just pretty — their strong scent drives off aphids and whiteflies, keeping the kale happy and hole-free. Companion planting at its finest.

Sometimes it's hard to find the squash. Sometimes it's hard to find the volunteers 😆

Wondering what to do with all the zucchini? Here's one idea: zucchini pancakes.

Grate zucchini (and carrots) and then add them to your favorite pancake batter (reduce liquid by 1/4c) 🥕

These also freeze well, so we made a double batch! 🤤

We certainly had our work cut out for us at the squash bed this week! The plants are enormous 🍃 And the paths between the beds are barely visible. But we cleared out the weeds and found some beautiful squash in there 🤩

Our kale bed is doing so well! And staying protected from bugs 🐛with those lovely marigolds 🌻

Looking forward to making another batch of kale chips with the next harvest!

For kale chips, try toasting in the oven with sesame oil, soy sauce, and coconut flakes 🤤

We have another gorgeous volunteer hidden in the broccoli bed 🥦

One seed, smuggled into the dirt where it doesn't belong that escapes many rounds of weeding to grow into this stunner 🤩

Reminds me of those Cabbage Patch dolls from the 80s 😂
