May 21 - The Campfire Trail - The Zucchini Apocalypse Has Commenced

May 21, 2024

Day 963 of the Adventure

As we near the end of May, the long wait for garden produce is beginning to pay off. The Zucchini plants have exploded in blossoms. I suppose that precedes the typical "explosion" of Zucchini in a garden. The old joke about Zucchini goes something like "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach him to garden and the entire neighborhood gets free Zucchini for an entire year". It's a vegetable that no matter how you plan for the right amount, it always turns out to produce somewhere between three and ten times more of a harvest than you expect. You almost wonder if the plants sit around having daily pep-talks among themselves that go something like...... "He only planted five of us seeds so we need to triple or even quadruple our efforts!" And then go about to over-achieving by a factor of seven or ten! I'm thinking next year I should just toss an empty packet of Zucchini seeds out on the worst part of the garden soil I can find and see what happens. I have no doubt the package itself would put a call out for reinforcements and Zucchini would arrive from the four corners of the planet to populate our garden. Regardless of how many we end up with this year, I plan for a good portion of them to serve duty as loaves of Zucchini bread. If it freezes well, I plan for Zucchini bread all winter this year.
