I thought I ordered the extra large zuccini





We harvested some vegetables from our garden the other day.
One of them was this giant zucchini. The plant is huge and covered in many flowers but the only zucchini produced was this.
As I had read(way too late)my Jamie Oliver cookbook I found out that the zucchini should be harvested when no longer than five inches in length. When they become larger they get flavorless,pulpy and stringy.

I guess grandma can make bread with it.

The rest of the garden is out of control with foliage but not a lot of fruit or vegetables. The vegetables we have harvested are pure perfection in flavor.
