I just read about the Great Zucchini Race - that is the cutest thing ever!

Great information Wayne. I planted acorn squash this year and had flowers, but no fruit. I had high hopes as the plants grew so very quickly!

Interesting article...thanks!

I'm definitely a member of the cook-the-vegetables-separately camp. I often turn to the oven and roast them as well, although I have also grilled the vegetables. I think it is important to salt the zucchini and eggplant prior to cooking because this practice really helps in preventing these sponge-like vegetables from sopping up too much oil - especially annoying in ratatouille.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now I have some more ways to make my zucchini go go... :)

Unless one has a very large family, I would suggest ONE plant... I've been eating zucchini daily and giving away a bunch of them, too... I will certainly miss them soon enough.

I always leave one monster zucchini growing on the vine until the first frost, which will become a Dachshund dog for halloween. :)
