how many loaves of zucchini bread can that zucchini Jason’s holding make? (rephrase that, Andy: one dozen or two dozen to Denise’s family)

The giant ones don’t taste very good.

Thankfully my wife grows strawberries. I am low priority after the grand kids have their fill. I roll them in sour cream and then roll them in brown sugar. That’s the berries, not the kids…….

Won’t the iguana eat them?

Give away as many as you can! That’s more you don’t have to eat!

My father once grew 75 pepper plants! I don’t even like bell peppers. He was like this strip trying to get rid of them.

Dump them in the city pound on the way over.

Going from TWENTY (or so) and calling it “TWO” is rounding down, isn’t it?

Donate them to a food pantry.

Rounded up from WHAT?

I’ve never successfully raised even one zucchini.

Then again, I’ve never tried. 8^)

My Lebanese grandmother used to hollow them out and stuff them full of tomato sauce, lemon juice and ground sirloin and a few spices. Heat them in a pan with tomato sauce. Tasted great. All those spices and acid from the tomato sauce erased the bitter flavor. Try “Mahshi Kousa” next time you’re in a Middle Eastern restaurant. (My German grandmother also made all kinds of great stuff.) Want a recipe?

according to a Prairie Home Companion I heard years ago, one has to sneak around after dark and leave them on neighbors’ porches

The police hand them out to speeders. It sure slows them down during zuc season.

This is why I cultivate gardeners, not gardens.

My mom used to give away “her” organic tomatoes to her church and china painting friends. Annoying for me who grew them, but it meant less to freeze for me.

It’s “Why don’t you TAKE her and her parents…”

Rounded it up?

i miss seeing Denise now that it’s only new on Sundays
