When Peter pick a peck of pickled peppers, he had to be very picky! If he picked them too soon they could be hard and bitter. If he pick them too late they might be too large or mushy. We learned that now is the time to watch your plants. Each plant has a slightly different set of rules to determine when it is mature. One guide is the seed package that give a general amount of days until maturity. The most important rule is vigilant observance of the fruit. Surveillance is important to maturity as well as bugs and diseases. This is the time that the plant is most venerable.
We had lots of cucumbers, some peppers and two of Nate's 8 ball zucchini were ready to be picked and sent home. I took a bunch of cucumbers and one zucchini to the food bank.
For snack we had pineapple/zucchini bread.
