A ~ Z of Marvelousness: Z is for Zucchini
Zucchini
- The marvelously versatile Zucchini is from Italy. The French call it "courgettes" and in South Africa they're picked very young and called "baby marrows".
- The Zucchini plant grows extremely fast and if you plant two Zucchini seeds, you should be able to have enough Zucchini for family of four for a season.
- I can't wait to take pictures of the beautiful yellow Zucchini flowers and make a yummy Zucchini Flower Tempura afterwards (hopefully from this little seedling on the picture).
- Here's a couple more recipes: Zucchini Bread and Zucchini Fries
Look out...zuchhini takes over. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing the challenge!
I do love zucchini. Last summer I discovered I could make zucchini fritters that were not only edible but delicious. But chocolate zucchini cake is my favorite.

Deep friend zucchini - onion ring style - yum! And you are right - 2 seeds will be plenty!
ReplyDeleteWe grew Zucchini one year...and the neighbours were very appreciative!
ReplyDeleteGlad I had the opportunity to meet you and look forward to future posts
Haven't tried to grow zucchini in quite some time. Too many animals come and eat. Now I just pick it up at the farmer's market. I enjoyed your blog this month and look forward to reading it in the future.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I don't like zucchini, but then I'm not great with most vegetables! Congrats on finishing a-z
ReplyDeleteYou know, I don't mind Zucchini, but I can't stand cucumbers. Crazy, right?
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed your photography. Beautiful!
I don't like Zucchini! But the pic looks so green.
ReplyDeleteBtw, COngrats on completing the challenge! :)
I used to live on a mountain. There was a lady who baked zucchini bread when she felt like it and deliver it to a local shop. i enjoyed it so much that she would make a special effort to give me a jingle right before she headed in to the village - so I could meet her baked treasure when it arrived. YUM!!!!

ReplyDeleteLove Zucchini! Congratulations on completing the Challenge! I look forward to your ther posts!
ReplyDeleteZucchini was one of the "Z" words that came to mind when I was thinking about what to write for "Z". Great plant and you are so correct about how well they grow. Whenever my family or friends plant zucchini, we give them away to everyone, because there are so many!
ReplyDeletenow that's a great way to finish up the A to Z with mouth watering Zucchini. Ive got mine in the ground - can't wait til summer.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed A to Z
