Garden Surprise

Last day in June ended with a garden surprise!
A GI-NORMOUS zucchini!
I was watering our back veggie garden where we planted a smattering of things including squash, pumpkins, watermelon and zucchini. Anyway, I stumbled upon this fella under a leaf. Holy moly!!!
I was so excited I started taking pictures to show just how large this zucchini is!We are quite the gardening pair, you and I. All those evenings of tending and watering our first vegetable patch have yielded us a very "healthy" piece of produce. The corn however might be a different story....

Post-pick pictures:
Me in all my zucchini glory!

Becca and you loving the zucchini.

It's over half your height!

It dwarfs a wine bottle!

And its taller than Stan!


Now, what GIANT dish can we make with zucchini?!?

Keep your eyes on those zucchini's, Meghan. They're "sneaky" :-) .... multiply FAST ... like to hide. :-) ! You'll find more huge ones. I know from a past experience

Meghan, I hope you are preserving all this by making this diary & some pics into a book; so much more tactile than a CD. It will be a wonderful memento for Nora to cherish & hold, when she is older. Pauline ( Jessica's Nana)
