This is what our zucchini plants looked like a month or so ago. They got even fuller and huger than this! This year, we chose a variety of zucchini that has lighter color speckles on the leaves and on the fruits---an heirloom organic type.
A month-or-so before that, this is how hill #1 looked. (For the information of the grandchildren, zucchini are supposed to be planted in a little hill you make with dirt, then you put about 3 seeds in the hill. You save the best 1 or 2 plants to let them grow out of each hill.)
This is how the hill looked like when it was around 1 week after planting, about a month or so before the picture above. (Oh, the little white specks in the dirt are pieces of egg shells. Grandpa Bill turns veggie peels, egg shells and other things into a compost bin, where it rots and then adds it to the garden once a year or so. The egg shells take longer to rot, but they still supply good nourishment into the soil, in a natural way.) Are you ready for the grand results?.....................
Ta-daaa! Isn't that a lot of zucchini? 'You know that zucchini bread that some of you love so much? We made lots and lots of zucchini bread with zucchini we grew ourselves, out of 6 little seeds. Grandpa Bill even decided to learn how to make it, and he does a great job. When Grandma Diane was on a trip to see grandchildren in Alabama, he baked her some zucchini bread and mailed it to her, along with flowers from our garden and other things---what a nice guy to send such a loving care package!!! And we have all these zucchini left. We have plans to make it into more zucchini bread and save some through dehydrating and freezing to use in the winter months ahead. This is one way of working on our year supply of food, as the prophets have counseled us to do. It is a fun way to do it, too!
