Harvesting: First greenskin zucchini! Harvest tally: 1
My housemates will be so relieved to see this one, a ‘normal’ looking zucchini (the first I’ve ever grown!). Harvested it a little on the small side because it was growing squished in between leaves & vines, without much room to swell, so I thought it might spoil. Still, it&...

Harvesting: Harvested 3 fruit, harvest tally: 6
This probably seems very close to my previous harvest journal but that was quite a few days overdue. These are 3 brand new zucchinis taken from the 2 Lebanese zucchini vines! 3, why, that’s enough for it to feel like an abundance, a bounty, a glut! I have been striving for a zucchini glut s...

Harvesting: Harvest tally: 2 so far
2 of these so far, and 3 very very close to ready on the vine (was going to pick them today but didn’t need them to cook with and thought they could go another day- it’s interesting to see how much they grow day to day). I got funny looks when I brought in the harvest in this photo, w...

Harvesting: Last Harvest
I was removing the leaves with powdery mildew, and there was only about five healthy leaves left. The plants looked really sad, and since we are not all that keen to consume more zucchinis, I decided to pull all the plants.

Fruiting: Powdery mildew, but still producing!

Harvesting: First harvest!
Behold, my first zucchini of the year! Picked this morning, used a kitchen knife to cut through the stem. It’s in the fridge at home with a small handful of bush beans awaiting whatever I decide to do for dinner tonight. It’s slightly larger than I normally harvest zucchini but I didn...

Flowering: First female flower! And the tradition of 'zucchini-fiddling' resumes...
I had thought that this flower might open today, as yesterday it was showing bright yellow although it was still closed. I rushed out first thing this morning and there it was, merry as you like, my first open female squash flower of the season! Last year I waited weeks to get simultaneous male &...
