If he only saw the blunt end of it, I could see mistaking it for a mortar round. Better safe than sorry. Keeps your epitaph from being, "He thought it was a zucchini."

If you have chickens they would devour it just slice it in half.

I went to the store once and someone had filled a shopping cart with zucchini and parked it outside the door with a free sign.

About 10 years ago I planted some zucchini seed. Every single zucchini those bushes put out was huge. One was enough fried up for 4 people. No telling how big they wouldve got if I hadnt picked and ate them.
I havent been able to find any seeds or plants like that since. Ive looked.

I’ve heard so many stories about the ‘mysterious gift’ of over-abundant zucchini ;-)
I’ve never understood why something that grows so madly tends to be so expensive in city supermarkets. It’s the main ingredient in my favorite soup, and seems to go up in price every Summer...

LOL! In what state did that happen?
The woman I spoke to in Maine made a wonderful zucchini relish with her bumper crop. Fantastic on grilled kielbasi. Made me a believer.

That’s funny. I guess I don’t mind because zucchini is one of my favorites. All the extras get cubed up and frozen for the winter. I like them in my zucchini & potato soup and my minestrone.
