Hello everybody
I have been reading your posts for more than a year and following the evolution of your vegetable gardens and your experiences during your discussions with great curiosity and enthusiasm. It even became my evening soap "what do lazy gardeners say today?"
For a little over a year, I have a very small vegetable garden under hay, under brf, under leaves and under everything I actually find
With fall coming, it's a bit of a time to take stock.
Here are my zucchini, they are covered with odium, the leaves are like atrophied by the heat and the drought, they still give some fruit but we feel that they are at the end of the cycle ... and frankly that suits me like that because I'm starting to get tired of the zucchini I cooked it in all its forms: pan-fried, gratin, flan, salad and so on ...
Finally, I also made zucchini and chocolate cake, it's delicious, very soft and not greasy at all.
In short, all this to say that I will especially do nothing to my zucchini ... than eat them !

Re: Small vegetable patch 69 on the way to laziness
I made a pumpkin pie on my own, it's good, but I'm not a fan, that will change shall we say
but still need a good kilo of pumpkin, so I will surely keep them for another use which is better for my taste, like a good soup

Re: Small vegetable patch 69 on the way to laziness
Last year my husband made desserts with butternuts, which we were given, it wasn't bad, but I'm not crazy about it, too many weird memories of a boss a few years ago, who made me make beetroot or cucumber desserts (it was not selling well, but Madame insisted on doing this kind of thing). In the kitchen I am rather a purist I think

Re: Small vegetable patch 69 on the way to laziness
Yes sometimes the excess of originality is not very happy ... I remember a pink shallot ice cream ... heck.
There, if you don't say it, we can't guess the zucchini, it makes a light chocolate cake. I'll give you the recipe to try.
Ingredients and proportions:
250g grated zucchini
150g dark chocolate
100g sugar (brown)
1 sachet sucre vanillé
25g beurre
4 eggs
125g farine
1/2 sachet baking powder (not mandatory)
- Melt the butter with the chocolate.
- In a bowl, combine the eggs, sugar and vanilla sugar.
- Add the melted chocolate-butter mixture.
- Mix and add the flour.
- Add the grated courgettes.
- Mix well and pour the preparation into a buttered mold.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 180 ° C.

Re: Small vegetable patch 69 on the way to laziness
When it comes to critters, I mean insects and the like, it's also the end of a cycle and the start of a new one.
In the vegetable garden there were the first slugs in spring, aphids of all kinds: green, pink, black, gray and also on the roots of carrots. I have seen ladybugs arriving in very large numbers this year. Then the chafer and all the foraging insects on the phacelia made a magnificent roaring ballet. Caterpillars, they are super voracious it's awful. Flea beetles, leafminers and other things that I don't know. At the moment there are still colored bugs.
Among the "undesirable" flea beetles and caterpillars did the most damage. Bedbugs also qd same.
I tell myself that there is a time for each of them and it goes ... sometimes not without pain

Re: Small vegetable patch 69 on the way to laziness
It is only for the ants that it is always the season ... sometimes I have the impression of having the garden on a huge anthill of 1500 square meters I know they are not harmful but it even looks weird.
They build tubes around the stems of the strawberries, the mounds of the salad plants ... I don't quite know what to think about it yet.
On the one hand it aerates the earth on the other hand the rods surrounded by tubes end up failing. From time to time I shower all that with the hose to release the ants ... who get back to the task immediately.

Re: Small vegetable patch 69 on the way to laziness
I had this problem for two or three weeks on chard, a lot of aphids on it and therefore a lot of ants. With the jet the problem is solved well, but you have to insist a little, do it regularly and with pressure.
I had flea beetles too, which caused me some damage and then disappeared. Next year I will put sensitive crops under a net. I haven't seen a single caterpillar this year in the vegetable garden, it's the first time, but I had a lot of wasps, I don't know where they nest, but it must not be far from the vegetable garden, I have them attracts with water points.

Hello, Haven't you tried with coffee grounds? It would be a natural repellent ... For my part, I have never tested.
