    Did Louisa point that quote out to you? I also recently saw zucchini relish.

    No she didn’t, but if she had seen it, she would have cheered.

    Zucchini are edible and even tasty if picked when small. The problem is if you turn your back on them for even a moment, there is no stopping the nasty things and they turn into clubs.

    There is a running joke in New England that people are warned not to leave their cars unlocked or they may find their backseat filled with zucchini…

    Thanks for the advice!

Got something to say?

      And hey, finicky children are much more likely to try a new vegetable if they’ve taken part in growing it. The wonder of planting a seedling, watching it grow, and harvesting it to eat is inexplicable. I can’t think of a better way to show a child the value of fresh food from the table. — Emeril Lagasse, Farm to Fork, Cooking Local, Cooking Fresh
