Haaaalp! I surrender!
I GET it, zucchini. You grow like crazy.
Despite last year's zucchini failure..
...here's the haul from just about a week and a half from
my six "Container Zucchini Astia" plants:
And there's just as many out there on the vines waiting to be picked!
Oh, I can make these tasty zucchini cakes that I found on Pinterest...
... and also pickled zucchini, which was a big hit with my Weight-Watcher's using relatives.
But I think... maybe... six zucchini plants, even container zucchini plants,
are just too many.
Also, the leaves are soooo huge the dang things shade the nearby
annuals and tomato plants.
I'm holding a leaf next to a Topsy-Turvy for scale; the thing is about 12" across.
So next year, I'm only planting three,
and I'm keeping them in bounds by planting them in a pot:
Intrigued by these burlap-wrapped containers?
I'll be posting a tutorial soon!
