Wordless Wednesday: Ginormous Zucchini

This is my first summer growing anything other than tomatoes in my garden. Last Friday, after several days of neglecting my vegetable plants, I went out to check on them. And frankly I was shocked at the huge zucchini I found there.




I have gotten oversized zucchini from our CSA before, but nothing like this. For comparison, here it is next to my size 8 sandals.



On Saturday we cut it up, put some olive oil and garlic salt on it and threw it on the grill. It was delicious. Looking forward to many more!

  17. Good grief that thing is huge. I'm glad you posted this because now I know for sure what I'm growing is not a zucchini.
