Here are the options for the wet food

Cod with tomato and courgettes
Lamb with carrots and courgettes
Beef with carrots and courgettes



I now know what all those people do who raise a surplus of zucchini.

Pam S. who hates the stuff


I think ANYONE who raises zucchini raises a surplus of zucchini. They
sign a contract or something.


As someone with a bit of experience. Zucchini and lovely things and
easy to grow. But you can't turn your back on them.

If you harvest them when they are small, (and stick to one or possible
two plants) things are lovely. But turn your back for a day or give
them a bit if water and all those lovely eight inch long zucchini you
didn't harvest grow to two feet and four pounds.

While you are in the house looking for that recipe you are sure you
had
for zucchini bread, the plant is blooming and growing like Audrey.

Not only that, but it is also my understanding that all of the zucchini
in a garden will come ripe at the same time, which means that not only
do
you have a lot of zucchini to deal with, which is a problem unless you
are into home canning or have a lot of zucchini-eating friends.


Ah yes. My new gardening knowledge this year is the term determinate vs
indeterminate. Determinate sounds better. It isn't.

It means a plant that produces its entire crop all at once. A good
thing for someone growing packing house tomatoes. Not so great for a
home gardener. Indeterminate means the plant will produce over a longer
period of time.

I'm a bit late to the game, but I also finally learned how to prune a
tomato bush. (Other than dropping a fence on the plant which also
works)

I'll have my first precious fruit before the fourth of July. Its red
now, but I'm trying to be patient.

I accidentally left out part of my sentence, but everyone seems to have
grasped what I was trying to say: not only are the individual zucchini
large, but you also end up with an entire garden's-worth coming ripe
simultaneously.
