Zucchini, Zucchini everywhere
Well our biggest success so far has been our zucchini’s and we only planted four seeds (and three came up). Over the past few weeks we have been incorporating zucchini in just about every meal, we have probably so far gone thru approx 15 of them. This week no one had picked any so I sent Lee-Ann out today armed with a knife to get some and she must have picked approx 20 (and flowers). So I would say three plants is plenty for a family of four.

The watermelon will be coming, but as we are approaching autumn and winter it will have to wait till spring

zucchini is so prolific! you’ll be eating zucchini slice, zucchini on pizza, grated into burgers and pasta sauce, in cake, grilled on the barbie…
fun fun fun!
we live in canberra, so have similar cold weather climate. our gardening is a bit limited at the momen, but i’ll be watching with interest to see what you plant!
