How I Spent my Summer

Mud is very nice to feel
   All squishy-squash between the toes!
I’d rather wade in wiggly mud
   Than smell a yellow rose.

Nobody else but the rosebush knows
How nice mud feels
   Between the toes.

Could be a Wartime Recipe – A to Z Salad

This year, my Victory Garden was a no-go, although my apple tree did provide me with the apples for this recipe. In past years, I have grown more zucchini than any human could hope to eat. I have also grown red onions as part of my Garbage Garden experiment. In other words, the main ingredients for this salad can be grown in your own Victory Garden.
