Picked the first 2 teeny tiny zucchini today! (And I picked them teeny tiny because I can see that I'm going to be drowning in zucchini in about 2 days. Why did my partner plant 12 zucchini plants?!)

@sundogplanets My wife once planted *6* loofah plants.
Eventually, the neighbors would see us coming with a bushel of loofahs and pretend they weren't at home.
OMG! 12!
my mom planted 4 when i was in high school for a family of four.
she wound up taking them to the bank where she worked and giving them away to customers. :)
@RuthSachter Nope, different kinds
@sundogplanets Do goats and chickens like zucchini?
@sundogplanets wait, did you just independently have your partner plant 12 zucchini plants just like Sarah Hörst's husband did? there's some kind of 12 zucchini plant conspiracy going around https://bsky.app/profile/planetdr.bsky.social/post/3mqsgwkovd22l
@geckzilla Hahaha well glad to be part of the way-too-many-zucchini club with Sarah
@sundogplanets
Do you live near a food bank?
@USelaine Yeah, we often end up donating a lot of our veggies to the local food bank (honestly I'm more ok with that than selling veggies for unrealistically low prices at a farmer's market)
@sundogplanets my brother often warned me not to leave my car windows down because people will leave zucchini in the car. 😉
@sundogplanets only someone who is unfamiliar with zucchini would plant 12 plants….
@sundogplanets you can give zucchini away! I'd take them for cooking but I don't think we're in the same town.
I used to take buckets of feijoas from my mother's trees into my workplace. Co workers were delighted.
@sundogplanets 12!!!!!! That’s asking for some hurt, haha. Your poor neighbors, family, friends, acquaintances, and random passers-by. 👀
@sundogplanets
omg you're the second person I've seen to say they have TWELVE plants! Just one is enough for a large family!
@sundogplanets Your partner is a sadist? But zucchini fritters are great. And grated zucchini freezes well and makes splendid zucchini fritters in the fall.
I didn't plant any squash at all this spring because I fell and broke my hip two days before I planned to plant. So I'm a tiny bit envious. Would I have put in 12 plants? No.
