You hear a lot of stories about how prolific zucchini is – you get more than you can keep up with. (Like the old joke in gardening circles – don’t leave your car window rolled down or someone will leave a bag of zucchini).
Several years ago I gave up on the plant. There wasn’t a problem with too many, it was very few. I had problems with squash vine borers. I never could figure out how to prevent them from decimating the vines so I just quit.
But this year I tried them again and you can see from this one plant that the Lord has blessed us with a load of zucchini again. We’re having them sauted and grilled, giving them away and Sharon’s making zucchini bread. It is a great blessing so if you need some let me know. I’m not sure where the squash vine borers are, but I’m thankful they haven’t found their way back yet.
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones. Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.” Proverbs 3:5-10
Thank the Lord for plants full of zucchini!
Interesting post! I tried golden zucchini two years ago and we really liked it. But I found it just that way: I couldn’t give enough away. 🙂
Thanks Christine – we’ve certainly got plenty this year.
Nice Plant! It looks huge. If I lived closer, I would take some Z off your hands. 🙂
God Bless You & Happy Eating!
Thanks Dei – it’s the biggest zucchini plant I’ve ever had. I’d send you some, but don’t think they would survive the trip.
God Bless
What a beautiful, healthy looking plant! I hope the little squash plants I just put in the soil will do just as well!
Thanks Becky – it’s the largest one I’ve ever had but didn’t do anything extra for it. I’m sure yours will do that well too.
Wow, those are some beautiful plants. I got started late this year, so I’m just now starting to see some explosive growth in the garden. Keep digging!
Thanks Mike – I will. You do the same.
Keep at it, and eventually the results will come. That goes for life and gardening. Cheers
