Torpedoes, Blimps And Get-Aways

Gardeners around the world have different names for those zucchini squash that get too big to use. Depending on size, I name them by what they most resemble or those hidden ones that are found when I thought for sure they were all caught up for a couple of days are called Get-Aways because they got away from me.

I missed National Zucchini Day this year, it was on August 8th. That is the day that you are supposed to grab all those over-sized squash our of your garden and deposit on your neighbors porch. I tend to think of it as a much more fun game than lighting a bag of dog poop on the porch before ringing the doorbell.

I didn’t have one over-sized zucchini this year because between eating fresh as stir fry and dehydrating a bunch to use in soups and stews during the winter time, all the squash has been kept at a nice small, tender size. I haven’t had any to feed to the cows either and they love to eat sliced up zucchini!

I guess that I’ll just have to put and extra plant in next year so I can have a little shenanigans come August!
