Back in March, when fresh veg was just a gleam in our eyes, I made the wise—if rather obvious—decision to only grow food we want to eat, and not to grow too much of any one crop.
Riches! Those carrots made my mouth water. I have already put my herbs through the food processor with a drop or two of water, frozen the pulp in ice cube trays, and put them in freezer bags in the freezer to be used through the winter. Squash is lovely made into soup and frozen in tubs. I have serious beet envy. A local chef told me about mixing curry powder, dried dill, and butter to make a sauce to toss with boiled or roasted beets, which is a good, as are baked beet chips. Have you tried buttercup squash? A particular favourite of ours.
Your herb cubes sound similar to mine although I've only done it with basil. My other herbs are single plants. I keep them right outside the kitchen so I can use as needed, and I bring them indoors in the winter.
I like the sound of that curry powder/dill/butter sauce for beets. I haven't tried buttercup squash although I love butternut, which is a completely different thing. I'll be on the lookout for buttercup to give it a try.
Hi Cynthia!! Isn't it great when you can turn vegetables into a dessert?! I'm not a fan of summer squash so we aren't growing it, but back in a previous gardening era most of my zucchini turned into muffins or zucchini bread. Enjoy!

I do this with basil, parsley, cilantro but freeze rosemary in sprigs; same with thyme and mint.
Hi! Using the overflow of summer squash to make pies. The sweet kind. Pretty good!
