Everything is growing like crazy all of a sudden, and I have a feeling that in two weeks, I will be scrambling to keep up with all the produce. (Or at least, that’s my hope.)

I’ve been so busy this summer, what with unpacking and settling after my move and the discovery of the kittens on the back patio that I’ve let some basic gardening chores get away from me. Specifically, I never got a chance to wrap the stems of my cucurbits with aluminum foil and now both of my zucchini plants have squash borers. (A classic case of do as I say, not as I do.) 

I’ll be lucky if I get two zucchini total before the plant kicks the bucket. 

Luckily, zucchini grows fast, so I’ll yank them up and burn them and plant a new seed or two in their place.
