Garden Highlight 6: Zucchini- our first vegetable and by far the funniest. Barbara Kingsolver discusses zucchini squash in her book, Animal, Vegetable. Miracle: A Year of Food Life.
She writes, “Garrison Keillor says July is the only time of year when country people lock our cars in the church parking lot, so people won’t put squash on the front seat” she continues, “So the family was a bit surprised when I started double-checking the security of doors and gates any time we all were about to leave the premises. ‘Do I have to explain the obvious’ I asked impatiently. ‘Somebody might break in and put zucchini in our house.”
Hilarious! 2 people and a ham is one definition of eternity. So is 3 zucchini plants
Thanks for your courage and the good work you are doing. And thanks for the levity!
