We have zucchini!!

Well, I had been hoping that I'd come home from a few weeks of vacation and have a magnificent bounty of new veggies.  Very very few of the seeds that I'd planted actually came up, and nearly all the fruit on the tiny plum tree fell and rotted (grrr), but the good news is that 2 tomato seedlings are starting to look stronger, we had a handful of tomatoes on the older plants (but 4 plants died!) and the zucchini are actually producing a bit.

I have just 2 zucchini off of 4 plants, but so far this is the best harvest of zucchini in one season that I've ever had... 3 pounds!

SO EXCITED about the weird striped one!

The dark green zucchini is 1 lb 15.3 oz (and 13 inches not counting the stem), and the cocozelle (striped) one is 14 oz.

Tonight I make stuffed zucchini for the first time... if it comes out tasty, I'll share the recipe.  I'm kinda mixing together several online recipes 'cause I want onion and herbs and the zucchini seeds in there, and 'cause don't have breadcrumbs.
