LOL! well, in my case at my rate of production, 12 zuke plants would be about right! LOL! However in your case, it is a horrifying thought! I hope your churches and community love zuke!
I have not even had the temerity to try cantaloup and watermelon.
LOL! I did some snow peas early in the season under a tree. I got several pods, but were not really as productive as I might hope for. I think I might give them a rest too, at least for next year. Not sure why I havent given up on squash yet though.
I have given up on peas, and am about to give up on melons and canteloupes.
Hubby bought a small chest freezer the other day. It’ll be ready to use tomorrow afternoon. I was hoping to buy a quarter of beed to use most of the space, but now I have nightmares about a chest full of zukes.LOL
