It happens to every vegetable gardener eventually. Zucchini, that most productive of vegetables, begins to take on a life of its own. You can’t hide from it. You can’t outrun it. You can’t outsmart it.
Here are 10 signs you may be losing the zucchini wars:
10. Your unpicked zucchini grows to the size of baseball bats.
9. You have a zucchini bread for breakfast, a zucchini omelet for lunch, zucchini casserole for dinner and chocolate zucchini cake for dessert.
8. The rabbits won’t eat it. They’re tired of it!
7. Your boss posts a sign in the office—“No Zucchinis. Violators Will Be Punished.”
6. You lie awake at night trying to think of new zucchini recipes. Zucchini wine? Chocolate covered zucchini?
5. You allow the neighborhood kids to use the zucchini for batting practice.
4. You leave zucchini on a table by the road with a sign saying “Free to a good home.”
3. You’re planning a party and only serving zucchini.
2. Your neighbors run inside and turn out the lights when they see you coming.
1. You leave zucchini on your neighbor’s doorsteps, ring the bell and run. (That’ll teach them for running inside and pretending not to be home!)
