Hi Hannah! So sad that you lost 3!! I even tried using diatomaceous earth, soap spray, and other organic methods, but to no avail. I’m gonna have to do some more research for next year!

My three zucchini plants succumbed to the same sad little death one after the other after the other. So sad.

Here are a couple ideas of what to do with those jalapenos. I haven’t tried them myself but they look mighty tasty and are on my summer time to-do list.

Those look delightful. Totally added to the list.

Haha I already have 4 quarts of frozen pesto cubes. I actually freeze mine with the cheese, it seems to work pretty well for me. Maybe I’ll try a tray or two without and see which method I prefer when I unfreeze them this winter. Thanks for the tip!

Hmm I may have to try that one. Pico de Gallo is not usually my salsa of choice, but the Pioneer Woman has yet to steer me wrong.

I did it last year and when a cube was thawed out, I’d mix it with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Haven’t tried this yet, but saw it in my Cooking Light magazine last month (I think) and can’t WAIT to try it. It’s received mostly rave reviews on the website, which is certainly promising.

Throw a big party and triple that, and you could use quite a few!! I myself am also a huge fan of jalepeno poppers…although I’ve never tried to make them, I’m sure there are recipes out there…
