Well, the class is winding down to the end now. My beans are drooping, and my cucumber plans is all shriveled. I'm choosing to blame the time of year and not my skills as a gardener, even though other plots look as fertile as ever. Regardless, I've had a good run. This week's harvest was still pretty sizable considering the majority of my plot looks like death. I got 2 zucchinis (one as a gift), a bunch of radishes, 3 monster carrots (only 2 made it home...), 2 eggplants, 1 measly cucumber, 3 not-hot Anaheim Joe peppers, 2 GIANT sunflowers, 3 lovely zinnias, and one Ladybug pepper that I somehow lost along the journey home. The sunflowers were by far my favorite thing to take home this week.

We did the usual weeding and harvesting this week. Libby told us that we're no longer being graded based on weeding, but I still did a little bit of maintenance out of habit. We got our final assignment, and it doesn't look too bad.
In terms of cooking my vegetables, I admit that I've been eating a lot of them raw. I did, however, make some zucchini bread. Warning, this is NOT healthy zucchini bread, but it sure is tasty. Here is the recipe I used:

And here is the final product!
Until next week!
