holy ZUCCHINI !!!

A few months ago Geoffrey and I started a garden on the side of the house. Turns out it the location couldn't have been more perfect. Our garden yielded many squash and zucchini during the month of June and early July and now the attention has turned to tomatoes. While I was out picking the tomatoes (today's yield was 15) I noticed a rather large dark green thing that caught my eye. It looked a zucchini, but was much too large. As I reached down I discovered it was indeed a zucchini! I doubt this will win any awards, nor will it taste that great, but it sure looks cool. It measured in at 17" and I have the tape measure to prove it.

General wasn't sure what to make of the large zucchini. He loves zucchini, but normally its already been sliced.


Gizmo says, "maybe if I sit real still, my mom will chop it up into lots and lots of treats."

Crazy! :) Glad your garden is producing! You'll have to become creative with things to make with so many tomatoes! :)
