Consider this my garden update:
I’m pretty sure these guys have a plot to take over. Sure they look friendly. But it’s not normal how fast they grow and how they just. keep. coming. Fifty lbs of them a week. From TWO PLANTS. It got me thinking about how Zucchinis and Zombies have a lot in common. So I decided to make a top ten list of their similarities.
- They grow and multiply in the night
- If left unattended, they rot
- They are green
- They start with the letter Z
- The internet loves them
- They show up mysteriously on doorsteps
- They are the subject of scary stories
- They get ripe
- They remind you oddly of your inlaws
- If you are an evil genius, you can get them to do amazing things for you.
I’ve started a pinboard on Pinterest entitled “What to do with all the Zucchini”. If you have any great recipes to share, please leave in the comments so I can add to my pinboard!
