I've been eating a lot of zucchini lately [View all]

My wife froze enough zucchini to make zucchini bread throughout the winter and I've been eating dehydrated zucchini chips, zucchini soup, zucchini casserole and for lunch I had broiled zucchini. Even then, there are several zucchinis on the kitchen counter that need to be dealt with. My wife has been in the hospital for a spell and so I'm eating this on my own.

4 plants provides plenty for the two of us and as the seeds in the packet last for 5 years, I don't have to buy zucchini seed for sometime.
