Well, other than the pickling like pepperoncini, I would try this recipe:
Hungarian Stuffed Peppers
Sajtos Töltött Paprika - Hungarian Stuffed Peppers - Spicy Stuffed Wax Peppers with cheesy goodness makes a great side dish or party appetizer. #meatlessmonday #peppers #sidedish

This has been going around with a caption about opening day of zucchini season....
I've been coming up with different ways to use them.
Lasagna type treatment with zukes replacing the noodles.
Zucchini pickles for using on burgers.

I literally thought those were pumpkins at first.
Have you grown any opo?they are a guord/squash type vegetable. They can get a couple of feet long and still be edible.
They are a variety named "Pineapple." Mild but quite tasty.
Only squash I do is the zucchini. It doesn't rain here all summer so you have to have a system of watering worked out and vine like plants are pretty tricky to succeed with.
Gophers are what I am battling currently. Had a caadyshack type moment yesterday when I could see one of them eating my lawn and sucking it down the hole.
Those guys are tough. We have at least one who lives in a nearby culvert.
They do have their very occasional moments...a couple years ago we were walking past a known gopher hole (someone else's property) and four small heads popped out, each looking in a different (N,S,E,W) direction...cute if it isn't on your property.

Pulled three tomato worms off my plants. One small one yesterday, so I SCOURED every branch looking for more. I knew there was more damage than that dinky little thing could have done. Found two more today, one little one and one BIG #$%^&!!!. I reveled in squooshing it to bits. The little ones were easier to find b/c they were covered in those white wasp eggs, but the big one was clean and clear.
Assuming you are talking about the tomato hornworms. You're supposed to just leave the ones with the white eggs as they will devour the worm and make more worm killers.
Thankfully, I haven't seen any of these worms here in CA. In GA, I would be able to find them mostly by tracking where their excrement was piling up.

Leaving them to the wasp eggs will allow my plants to be devoured in the meantime. I would rather squish them. It is very cathartic.
No, the hornworms stop eating when the eggs are there. I have watched it happen--it is fascinating.

Huh. I may have to invest in one of these.
Was in Durham Saturday for the game, and as a dedicated mulcher I took note of the local mulching habits. Still great to see downtown Durham doing so well, looking so good, but the guys who mulch around the big trees need a refresher course...they're really big on the "tree volcano" look which is a basic mulching no no. Gotta give 'em space at the bottom, a few inches at least of non mulched area....then we got to the Duke campus and not surprisingly, the mulching was all tip top. Made me feel good.
