Nice colours together. I’ve got a lot more improving to do. Managed to grow a giant stem and a few flowers. Perhaps next year try for some fruit. :(

Great looking squash! This was my first year growing squash, or rather zucchini, and everything was going great before powdery mildew struck. Baking soda-soap spray didn’t seem to have an effect. How do you keep yours mildew-free?

we bake slices in the oven with different cheeses and herbs or put into stews for volume.

I tried a yellow variety one year and didn’t care for the taste- maybe I might give another a try again next year. I like the multiplant idea for these and will try that as well, pulling them out when they get too big and unruly (if I have more that I’ve sown to follow them, that is). So how many do you multiplant and at what distance? Happy harvesting!

we had zucchini this year for the first time. i was not sure how many to plant so i started off with 12 seedlings. i realized it was way too much for my little garden, so i gave half to my aunt. so i have 6 and that is way more than we can handle. i have been giving them away to friends and family. they are already avoiding me ;) lol. i was away for 2 weeks and as a result i found half meter long zucchini.
here is pic of our plants http://homemoma.blogspot.com/2009/08/summer-gardening.html
