Did not grow any zucchini this year. I remember one year going to Dollar General and outside the door in a grocery cart someone had filled it FULL with zucchini for people to take . If they get too big, cut them lengthwise and your chickens will devour them.
I’ll never understand what is so HARD about picking your zucchini every few days, so it’s tender and fresh and manageable.
Yes, I will admit to a MONSTER ZUKE through the years, if I missed picking for say, three days in a row, LOL!
I’m cutting back to one plant for next season. That is MORE than enough for us. I planted three in the Kitchen Garden and had an extra for the Big Garden. I love the stuff, but enough does end up being MORE than ENOUGH!
We need to find a way to make fuel from it, or find a way that it reduces aging, or magically makes you lose 10# overnight. Maybe we’re approaching this problem from the wrong angle? LOL!
