Welll they grew up flowered and have zucchini growing. Are you ready for this. Oo'Ka. The zucchini are the large type and currently green shaped like the golden egg variety. Maybe they turn yellow later for all I know. I will need to pull the label from the box tomorrow and read more closely on it. My wife always buys the fordhook variety at the market. I was telling her about the size of the zucchini growing in the yard and that did not go over very big.

They still have plants at Home Depot I seen the other day when I was picking up the CRM [concrete reinforcement mesh] for the chimneys. I will go over tomorrow and see if the have any fordhook zucchini plants. If so I will pick up some and do a couple buckets of the fordhooks.

If I plant the fordhooks and they produce I will have more zucchini than I will know what to do with. We will be eating a lot of zucchini that is for sure.

Might have to start giving it away.

Wellll, I got the green griller. Should have purchased the Black Beauty or the Organic zucchini. https://bonnieplants.com/product-category/vegetables/squash/

I seen zucchini in big bold print and did not read the finer print. Even has a picture on the label.

Welll, I was thinking about it and I am out of buckets, potting mix, vermiculite and perlite. Just to purchase those items plus the plants will cost about $55.00 just to set up a couple buckets. Out of the question. Purchase what zucchini she likes and needs at the time at the market. Plus she can purchase in the quantity she wants. Usually buys a four pack.
