I just harvested my first zucchinis (2) this morning. They will be going on the grill tonight along with hamburger steaks and thick sliced onions. We will have baked potatos or rice also, have not decided which yet.

Chashmere and Aladden were so excited, jumping around like baby lambs, they thought that I was going to give the zucchini to them! They were used to getting zucchini snacks from the garden last year. But these two zuks are for my supper tonight! They settled for store bought carrots.

Something ate most of my zucchini plants. Most of the slugs are dead now. Squirrels?

I need to plant some more in a few days.

Already, wow, are you serious?! Congrats on your zucchini. ... sounds like a wonderful dinner. Your dogs like veggies? I’ve noticed at times only small bags of rice are available in my local stores these days. We eat a lot of rice, but I didn’t think it was that popular with everyone else.

I have only one zucchini plant planted out so far, as I’ve been nervous to plant warm weather veggies because of our freezes last week. I’m still waiting on planting out tomatoes as well. My cool weather crops are holding up nicely though.

I have planted out some calendula, snapdragon, english daisy, dianthus and a few other little flower seedlings I think will tough enough if it turns cold again.
