It's "lock-all-doors" time of the year again

 

Yes, the zucchinis are ripening. Mine are in plain view, yet I am just
staying ahead of them (so I think). Three days in a row, 15" zukes have
surprised me. Yet my smugness is just the cucurbit's way of lulling me
into complacency, and a false sense of security, while the crook necks,
in their villainy, plot, unobserved. Soon I'll be the pariah of the
neighborhood, as I walk the streets with my heavy load of green, and
yellow logs, searching for the unlocked car door, or the unobserved
porch. And then it's run-a-way, run-a-way.

In any event the exercise, and the fiber is good for me ;O)

Yeah, I know, too much information.

Wow.  That is the newspaper I read for about 30 years.  Many of the
names were very familiar.  Nostalgia.

Wishing I wuz a neighbor......we are the only people on the face of
this earth who cannot get a decent crop from Zukes, and we love them.
Dunno what we could be doing wrong, all other crops do fine. This year
we didn't even plant any.
Sniff, sniff ~~~ :~(.

Last year, we tried to interplant the zukes with the tomatoes (tall and
short), and it was a freakin' disaster. Year before, we planted three
squash, all in new garden soil. This year, it is 5 (so far) in
established garden soil, and they have gone bonkers. The sun flowers are
struggling to keep their heads above the squash leaves. There are 3
more, recently planted squash in new soil, and we'll see how that goes.
You must have someone, a neighbor, or relative, or co-worker you can
trade with.
