Pickles by Brian Crane for October 18, 2024

Earl almost said the same thing that many others were thinking.

When does the garbage truck come?

Invite all your friends over for a feast, and prepare togo boxes for everyone

Earl almost stepped in it.

I have a great way to fix zucchini. First you peel it… and throw the peel into the compost. Then you cut it in half lengthwise, and take out the seeds… and throw the seeds into the compost. Then you cut the halves into 1/2 inch cubes (approximately)… and throw the cubes into the compost.

Then you order in.

hmmm⠄⠄⠄ Ⅰ wonder

I’m sure there’s a charity that would love to get all that zucchini. Meanwhile, cheer up, Earl. Things could be worse. Opal could have served you canned veg instead. Or – she could have asked YOU to make dinner for a change…

At least they are not going to waste!

Make lots of zucchini bread and freeze it. Throw it out next year when you plant zucchini again.

Pickles is running on zucchini strips!

Zucchini are often feast (a ton) or famine (none). Here the deer, squirrels, rabbits, voles and etc. assure you can’t grow much of anything.
