How does my garden grow, and grow and grow

This last picture is the size of a sunflower leaf, what a great plate that will be.  Today I will be working on more bowls to try to have ready for Art in the Garden next week and handbuilt lace and leaf plates for fall orders.  Wolseley Farmers Market too, rain stay away!!!

Recipe time!

I have always said this blog was about pottery and gardening two of my passions. There are others, but some are less bloggable than others. At any rate, I think it only makes sense to offer some of what happens to garden produce that we consume, that doesn't go to market. Alternately this may be an idea for some of my customers...we use swiss chard and zucchini interchangably. I think nutritionally swiss chard likely has the upper hand , and both are in abundance right now in this garden.

Hot Zucchini Squares


3 cups zucchini, grated or thinly sliced
1/4 cup onion, minced
2 Tbsp parsley, chopped
1/2 tsp. leaf oregano
3/4 tsp salt
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp butter, melted
1/2 cup canola oil

In a large bowl mix zucchini, onion,parsley, oregano,salt, garlic and cheese.

Stir in eggs and mix well.

In a small bowl combine flour, baking powder, seasoned salt and pepper.

Mix well into zucchini mixture, then add melted butter and oil.

Pour into a 9 x 13 inch greased pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Cut into squares and serve warm. This freezes well.
