However, we will learn from this (as I said at the outset), and we will probably have to provide purple hearts and medals for bravery to the pepper plants and the yellow squash. The tomatoes are also taking a battering from these aggressive plants. This picture is from a couple of weeks ago.
The zucchini has the enormous leaves, and the cucumber is to the left with a little lighter green leaves. The tomatoes are at the back. What you can't see is that the cucumber is stretching out its tendrils to everything around it and growing, and growing, and growing. We'll probably never find all the cucumbers. Anyway, I've had a small harvest. Take a look.
You see a couple of Swiss Chard leaves, parsley, zucchini, oregano, and lettuce (in a pot---not in the garden). I've also had a couple of grape tomatoes ripen. Anyway, that night this was my dinner.
You know what? Michele Obama is quite correct. It does taste better if you grow it yourself.
I am a little concerned about how many times a week I can eat zucchini and how many different ways to prepare it. Good news though. Dogs like zucchini.
More about cucumbers another time.

can the zucchini with tomatoes for pasta sauce, bread and freeze for fried zucchini, zucchini bread can be made and frozen too. (not that i've ever managed to keep a plant alive long enought to do these things myself, but the woman two houses down and the old lady across the road both do this yearly and we reap some of the benefits)
and as for the cuckes, you've got to make bread and butter pickles out of some of them. not to do so just wouldn't be right. :)
