Today G and I will roast Poblano peppers on the grill.  Then after we peel them, we’ll bag them for our freezers.  I have a large basket full of them all from the one plant in a pot with two other types of peppers. 

     The cucumber vine expired yesterday.  A darned shame, I’ll certainly miss the fresh cucumbers.  I did have quite a few and gave away many.  They made the best cucumber salad.  I tried two recipes for the creamy cucumber salad I remembered from my childhood visits to the family farms.  I was searching for one similar to one my Aunt B served.  I loved that salad.  Both recipes I tried were wonderful but the second one was very true to my memory.  I’ll plant cucumbers again next year.

     I now have five cantaloupes growing.  One is huge and makes the ones I saw in the supermarket look like minis.  I drool over it every day.  I am dying for it to ripen.  There’s one watermelon on the vines.  I picked the other one too soon so I intend to ignore this one for a while.

     The Big Boy and heirloom tomatoes are beginning to ripen.  We had wonderful BLTs for dinner the other night using a Big Boy tomato that was the first to ripen.  I picked two huge heirloom tomatoes yesterday.
