It’s zucchini season in California. At least in my backyard. I have been busy making muffins, brownies, bread, and cookies using the harvest from our garden.

The brussel sprouts looked great until the long stem of sprouts stopped growing, We have seen them growing in a field and ours never came close to that. The broccoli was the wrong kind. Instead of big clumps, they were long and thin. They won’t be in our garden ever again.
