ZANY ZUCCHINI

     In early Sept. I noticed that a zucchini was becoming a  very different shape. It was becoming a 90 degree angle. Apparently the front of the zucchini got stuck on the ground but the zucchini kept on growing. Fruits and vegetables quite often have weird shapes. 


     Then sometimes the zucchini owners can get bent out of shape. So this particular zucchini owner thought the zucchini would make some kind of collar!

  1. I suspect this is you! Retired teachers are entitled to spend their time messing about with zucchinis (we call them courgettes) -

    1. You're suspicion is correct. Yes, I can be silly.

  2. Have you hugged your zucchini today? Well, you have, but it's a good question to ask of others. 😊

  3. That would make a strange neck pillow. Take care, have a great day and happy new week!

  5. Love that zucchini collar. We grew one like that last year and it never occurred to us to wear it as a collar. LOL! Love these photos.

  7. Ha! It does look like one of those airline pillows. I'm glad you included the photo of you with it around your neck -- that gives a sense of scale. It's quite large! (The zucchini, not your neck.)

  9. We are failed zucchini growers this year. Our tall trees have taken away too much of our sun.

    1. The large trees make gardening a challenge.

  10. Well, by golly, I think when you reach a certain age, if you wish to wear your vegetables around your neck, well, so be it. You do YOU, Red.

  13. Oh my gosh! That has got to be the biggest (unusual) zucchini I've ever seen. My neighbor used to make the most delicious zucchini bread. Hmmmm.... maybe it's time for me to get some zucchini too.
