Neighbor in GWN was so impressed with himself he had scored a bat size courgette for only $3. I would toss those over grown things to my chickens or allow the neighbors to use them for zucchini cake/bread. The thin 8 inch fingerlings were more desirable, unless you wanted to stuff, then something wrist width. Even one plant was more than anybody wanted. For some reason the food banks did not want fresh produce donated from the garden.
