Domestically Sustainable Agriculture - Construction, Planting, and Harvesting

Step 18 Zucchini Tips

I suggest that if you don't want to be eating pounds upon pounds of zucchini every week, then plant only one or two zucchini plants.

We have harvested too much zucchini for one family to consume in a week. My mom is now planning dinners around zucchini!

When it is the size of a cucumber, or a little bigger, it is time to pick. It should be a darker green color, and nothing like the mutant, giant zucchini that is pictured below. We like to soak cut up zucchini in soy sauce, and then sear it in a pan on low heat. We also stuffed it with sausage and other meats. It was delicious. Of course, we began to get tired of all of the zucchini, and began to wish for our other veggies to begin growing.

Run a Google search to find some zucchini recipes. There are zucchini breads, cookies (mmm?) and probably some delicious ideas. You can always give it away to your friends or sell it on the side of the road.

Here are a whole bunch of zucchini recipes!

You can also slice it real thin and dry it, dice it and then freeze it so you can use it in pasta sauce in the winter. Or dip slices in batter and fry or fry thin chips without batter.
