Got One Finally!

That's a beautiful zucchini!! Sorry you lost so many of them. I guess you'll be baking zucchini bread? Yum!

Mine are doing pretty good. Not ready to pick yet though, but when they are I 'm going to make some zucchini bread.

Zuchinni Bread sounds so good. Wish I had some but I did not have enough room in my garden for some. How are your green peppers doing. So far I got only one on all of my 4 plants. Dont no whats going on. Last year I had so many of them.

Hi dear really look good and trust me BOB, if we get the same amount of Fruits/vegetables as many flowers we have flower, we wont be facing worldwife food crises. But its sad if u saw them going, anyway they are reallt healthy and frsh Lovely Take care

higrandp bob when we hadour own house that is one thing we really grew. I would pick them when they were about the size of the one in your picture but myhusband let one grow and grow and grow. that thing was huge and suprizingly we cooked it and it was delicious. 'My husband breaded and fried slices of it and it was 'really good. I did make some zuchinni bread with some of it. And froze the rest.It was as big as some small watermelons.I thought sure it would be tasteless and woody. I still like them much smaller than that as they are sweeter and more tender I think.

Sorry to hear that they all arenn't making it! But some are and will! And Man!! Woo HOO!!! I can almost smell the Zuchinni Bread Now! PLease bring the bread along with the Casserole!! LOL.... oh yeah you wanted chili,, well I make a very good home made chili!

I have a refrigerator full of them! Come and get them! There were a few that turned yellow and shriveled up right at first (maybe three or four) but they're doing fine now. It has to be the weather, but not the humidity or rain, because it's been very dry here this year. It's been really hot, though.

I somehow missed this discussion when it was fresh. I know your garden has done really well this year. How did it turn out on the zucchinni? My baby zucchinni plants are getting nice and big now. I will be taking fresh pics later today and starting a new discussion on the progress of things.

Hello Grandpa Bob, Nice looking zuchinni Grandpa Bob. How many of them? Is it ready to harvest yet? Happy posting to you too!! oxox'dian

No! We have been so lucky with squash and zuchinni's this year- We have been eating them every night for 2 weeks I love them. We have actually been pretty lucky this year with our entire garden-- the only thing is - our tomatoes aren't ripe yet. Soon I bet! Congrats on getting a zuchinni!

ive never tried growing zuchinni. but i know that almost all the veggies and even the couple of fruit trees we have, had a pretty sad first crop. i was told its because its the plant/trees first "go at it" lol. after the first round of failed veggies they seem to do much better and only lose a couple of them. still waiting for my little baby orange to more than the 2 or 3 fruit its been able to put out for 2 years now. but then again its only about 3 ft tall, so its definitly a baby still!

Gosh that is so green and healthy looking! You must be doing something right! Is that the only one or are there other ones that are almost to this stage? I bet you can't wait to eat it! [b] Have a great day and happy myLotting!![/b]

We have a real problem here with pollination. I live in central Fla on the Beach. There are so many wasps that there are no bees and very few butterflys to pollinate the tomatoes and zuchinni etc. I have out smarted them again by using a small paintbrush to pollinate the flowers!! It is too late in the season now for various squash but the tomatoes are going great still and will all year long! I have had hundreds of tomatoes out of about 10 plants so far. All of my neighbors in the Apt. Complex have had tomatoes off of my plants. Next year try the paintbrush trick on your Zuchinni and see if it helps. Shalom~Adoniah

I don't know what causes this problem, but I'm sure it's water related. We have only been able to water our veg garden every few days this summer as we're not living there permanently at the moment, and we've had this problem allot. However, we've also had some fabulous courgettes (as we call them!). They're rather odd shapes as you can see the pattern of our watering in their width! When we water, they get fat then if we don't water they go slim again so we get bumpy courgettes! I adore courgettes. People complain about having too many, but I don't think that's anything to complain about.

I have loads of cucumber flowers but only one cucumber finally. I have one egg plant now after I spray for some bug I did not find. My bell peppers are doing great but getting sun burnt I need to devise something to shade them before I lose all of them.

I am as green as that zucchini! Next year i'm going to have a garden if i have to hire somebody to come in a plant it for me.
