We accidentally turned our backs for just one second...and the next thing you know, my H is picking a 15 lb zucchini that looks more like a skinny watermelon!

Tonight we'll be shredding until the cows come home (or the goats). We have zucchini coming out our wazoo! Our freezer will be busting at the gills!

We are wildly successful with our chosen cuke variety this year as well. Yesterday when I was searching for our lettuce and spinach seeds to re-sow for fall, I discovered that both the crazy over-producing zucchini variety and the super successful (so far) cuke variety - were from seeds both bought at our local nursery (in their OP section). It certainly points to the concept that buying local seed means that you'll get local hardy/adapted plants! I have three bean varieties that are also local and so far, they are doing extremely well, too.
