Been baking 'Golden Delight' zukes with a bit of olive oil, then putting marinara, fresh mozzarella, shaved parmesan, and a touch of ground chorizo on before putting it under the broiler. Addictive.
I am from an Italian family and I am sharing my recipe for Zucchini. I grew up eating it this way and also my mom made Zucchini bread. Saute sliced Zucchini with olive oil, onion and garlic. About halfway thru...add quartered tomatoes (peeled or you can pick the skins off as they cook). Add a generous sprinkle of Italian seasoning ( dried) salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parmesan and enjoy!
Thanks Travis. I cut those zucchini long ways 1/4 inch thick, oil them up a little, sprinkled with your favorite steak seasoning or garlic and salt and gas or charcoal grill them for about 2 minutes. Really good. I usually cook them after I pull the steaks off. Thanks man Long time subscriber and viewer. Keep them coming.
I’m growing Toronjina, Sun Sugar, Edox, and Matt’s Wild Berry. All seem to be growing quite well so far. But as far as Zucchini, those pantheon are in a class by themselves. We’ve already been harvesting and eating them which is unusual here in PA.
Seeing the Edox under perform I really think the culprit was the cool start to your season. Here in 9b sub tropic Texas coast we didn't see temps drop below 65 at night after mid February. A buddy of mine in north texas 8b(who recommend me Edox) saw light frost into March and low 50s into April. He started his seed during a warm spell and was hit with a front at seedlings. That's when he saw a decline in vigor and few of his plants became stunted. him and I comparing our gardens saw a huge difference between performance. His Edox have been underwhelming and have not done as well as they have for him in past years. For me it was an early heavy producer. After reading more into Edox I gathered it was a greenhouse variety that does perform better under warmer conditions and in cooler climates benefits from temperature controlled hoop houses or indoor growing. I only mention all this because for me the Edox has been one of the heaviest producing and vigorous Cherry verities I've grown. Very minimal disease while my sweet 100 and sun sugar are really done for 😂 I'm just hanging on for one more picking. Edit:Really think the Edox deserve one more look at And a fair shot at redemption. They have exceptional flavor especially when ripened to the deeper dark red color
Everything looks great! Squash looks good considering the rain you’ll have had. Had to finally pull my squash plants up from my raised bed. Despite my best efforts the vine borers got them. Got a good crop before the borers killed the plants off. I got two options for a second planting at this point. Plant some winter squash seeds or set out Red Snapper tomatoes transplants I had left. I got a bad feeling those tomatoes transplants will struggle in this Mississippi heat. What do you think?
We planted Toronjinas this year based on your suggestion. They were a little slow to get going for us but, boy have they outrun all the other tomatoes now. We planted five plants and have more tomatoes than we can pick. We have tons to share! We are also growing Costada Romanesco this year and it’s our favorite squash of the year. I will be getting some of the Pantheon in our next Johnny’s order. Thank you for all the great advice and suggestions!
Boy you got some good looking plants! I think the larger cucurbit plants like the squash and pumpkin like the no till style because they seem to have huge root systems. I've got deep woodchip walkways and my squash plants have roots going out about 4 feet from the stem into the woodchips.
I enjoyed watching that! I definitely like my tomatoes on the sweeter side but with a good acid balance! I so wish I could like summer squash because they are fun to grow, but I just can’t enjoy eating them, oh well.
Dont know why but me and the wife love yellow crook neck and straight neck squash. But dont like zucchini at all. But is what it is. Enjoy the channel. Oh, by the way we love fresh garden tomaters and eggplants.
The pantheon is good and very productive, easy pick gold 2 is out producing it though. I have been over run with them but the SVB are going to win the battle before long. I have round two planted with mesh netting over them till they start producing. Then the netting come off and harvest as many as I can before the SVB take them out.
Got a question Kev . I have big ole tomato plants of six different varieties with blooms all over and no fruit setting . They have sun till about two o’clock and then shade in the hot part of the day . Only have a few cherry tomatoes setting . Is there anything that will correct this problem?
My 4 year old granddaughter only eats my cherry tomatoes. Her dad tried to get her to eat a sliced tomato from his girlfriend's garden and she refused because it wasn't my Cherry tomatoes. Last year I lost half of my tomatoes to disease and was left with nothing but cherry tomatoes and she ate them well into October.
Use something broad-spectrum like Spinosad early in the life of the plant, especially if you know you're going to have issues. The adults of any beetle are tough to kill, but you can usually kill the nymphs with organic methods that aren't too harmful to pollinators.
I'd like a mess of those baby squash with some onions stir fried, with some fried green tomatoes and cornbread, I don't even need the fried chicken, just the veggies. I'm pickling some green tomatoes I soaked in pickling lime and then ice water to keep them crunchy. Add some fresh dill to the jars and garlic and oh so yummy battered and fried. No I don't eat much fried food so that's a treat for me.
hey travis i have a problem with my corn i have an ear that has the kernals all puffed up huge busting out of the husk and white should i be concerned or is it just one off?
@@LazyDogFarm Today I tried a cooling vest. You soak them in cold water, squeeze them SOME, zip them up and rewet as needed. I was mowing the pasture at 100°!! Most days I'm in the AC by noon. They are the bomb!!
Up here, where the subsoil is clay, I build the ridges first and then plant in the ridge/hill. The idea is for the taters to form mostly in the hill well above the clay. It makes them a lot easier to dig and the taters are better formed.

I planted Georgia Jets this year too. I planted the first week of April.
Thank You Travis! Chuck in Jensen Beach.

As long as you change into another Braves shirt, Trav. Soroka's spinning a shutout; don't jinx it.
Another great video! Thank u ❤ My zucchini and Cucumber plants are busting out!! Canning daily and loving it 👍🏼
I love the sun gold and sun sugar ❤

Hey y’all from N. GA
Thanks for sharing! one of our favorite in the garden is the sweet million tomato.
Boy you got some good looking plants! I think the larger cucurbit plants like the squash and pumpkin like the no till style because they seem to have huge root systems. I've got deep woodchip walkways and my squash plants have roots going out about 4 feet from the stem into the woodchips.
Whoop whoop!!! 💚
I enjoyed watching that! I definitely like my tomatoes on the sweeter side but with a good acid balance! I so wish I could like summer squash because they are fun to grow, but I just can’t enjoy eating them, oh well.
I love your veggies. It is so nice and neat and my mouth water just watching you enjoying them.❤
Always learn something useful here, new to sweet potatoes and wasn't sure about mounding--main takeaway for me this time.
Torongina are doing well for me too. (Chicago area) definitely not splitting as easily as the sungold.
Dont know why but me and the wife love yellow crook neck and straight neck squash. But dont like zucchini at all. But is what it is. Enjoy the channel. Oh, by the way we love fresh garden tomaters and eggplants.

Hi Trav😊
Grew sungold last year and the toronjino this year. I found the sungold much tastier
Go Bravos
Sorry, Travis, but I gotta say GO LSU TIGERS BASEBALL !!!
I got heavy pickle worm pressure that just started on my 2nd squash planting here in South GA.
I haven't noticed any pickle worms yet, but I'm sure they'll be here sooner than later.
Got a question Kev . I have big ole tomato plants of six different varieties with blooms all over and no fruit setting . They have sun till about two o’clock and then shade in the hot part of the day . Only have a few cherry tomatoes setting . Is there anything that will correct this problem?
Unless it's too hot, I can't see where a little shade would hurt them. Some varieties won't set fruit once it gets so hot.
@@LazyDogFarm we do have some days in the high 90s and low 100s , that could be it . Thanks Kev .
Have u tried the golden egg hybrid squash? Yummy!!
I tried one that was shaped like an egg, but don't remember what it was called.
Have you ever grown edamame? I love them but they are so hard to find in the stores. Are you close to Vidalia where the onions are?
I've grown soybeans as a cover crop, but never intentionally as a food crop. We aren't too far from Vidalia, GA.
What do you put in the cherry tomatoes to make them green? I have some mulberry trees in pots that aren’t that green anymore.
My 4 year old granddaughter only eats my cherry tomatoes. Her dad tried to get her to eat a sliced tomato from his girlfriend's garden and she refused because it wasn't my Cherry tomatoes. Last year I lost half of my tomatoes to disease and was left with nothing but cherry tomatoes and she ate them well into October.
My dad built the sweet potato ridge before planting slips.
Do you use bt for the squash vine bug or something else? And how often do you treat?
I use an organic product called Azera.
How do you not have squash bugs? I am fighting them like crazy. Any advice? …. Spoke to soon you found one. LOL
Any recommendations to eradicate cucumber beetles?
Use something broad-spectrum like Spinosad early in the life of the plant, especially if you know you're going to have issues. The adults of any beetle are tough to kill, but you can usually kill the nymphs with organic methods that aren't too harmful to pollinators.

I'm not going to have any TN purple peas seeds this year
Thanks for the update. I may do a fall planting and see if I can get a little seed harvest from them.
hey travis i have a problem with my corn i have an ear that has the kernals all puffed up huge busting out of the husk and white should i be concerned or is it just one off?
Probably just a one-off. I've seen pictures of that happening, but never seen it in person.
did some research and it is corn smut or mexican truffles doesnt sound to bad if you get it out the corn before it pops and spreads spores everywhere.
Haven't been growing and small ones this year but I sure would like to know how you handle this heat and humidity?!? Never see you sweat!!!😊😂😊😅
I sweat a lot.

Have you ever grown 8 ball zucchini?
I have. They're okay, but to me they get a little spongy pretty quick if you don't harvest them at the right time.
It's been hot and dry this year so nothing is growing well.
Cherry tomatoes are a waste of time for me.
