Tibetan Goji plant

I'm happy to announce the latest addition to our garden : a friend gave us a Tibetan Goji berry plant, and I am also happy to know that it's hardy in our climate. I have the perfect sunny spot with well-drained soil for it. The flower buds should open within the week! http://bc-goji-berry-nursery-plants.blogspot.com

Even though it's been a less than stellar Summer, the recent heat we've had has brought on the pattypans! Last time I checked them they were the size of golf balls - so like zucchinis, they morphed overnight in size! I kept some of the smaller ones for stuffing, and my daughter loved them! Recipe is found here on Plate to Plate blog: http://www.platetoplate.com/recipes/quinoa-stuffed-pattypan-squash-with-summer-herbs/ I used lots of fresh basil, and they are good served with the garlicky tomato sauce.
