Judy just posted a few days ago about how she is trying to pick the zucchini before they get oversized and unusable. I’m not going to go too far about her best intentions going awry, but as you can see, I found a couple of lunkers in the summer squash bed, yesterday. You can see a penny on the big one to give you an idea of its size.
I can’t fault Judy for not keeping up. The garden is close to impossible to work in, right now. We have had over a week of humid, over 90 temperatures, and for Wisconsin, that is hot. Additionally, extreme rainfall has encouraged a hatching of mosquitoes of biblical plague proportions. It really is no fun to be outside.
Hopefully, ace cook Judy will figure out how to make something useful out of the overgrown zukes. Otherwise, they will become an exercise in growing compost, and I’ve already got enough practice doing that.
