Glad to know we have a few that are members of the "Growers Klan".
( Unlike the KKK,
Ku Klux Klan ) No, I am not one, never have been.
I have a friend that is a writer and a scholar in history. He told me more
about it that I had ever known )
Faith- I pick the zucchinis more like when they are 15" long- now THAT'S
a zucchini!
I hope you don't just have one plant as they need to be
cross-pollinated. Except some of the newest ones are parthenocarpic-
don't need fertilizing at all. Or maybe that's just cucumbers.
What a variation in size ?
Believe me, if there ever was a time to grow some food, the time is NOW.
Fortunately, I have plenty of land, good soil, and unlimited water from
creeks, wells, and city water also. ( and a tiny bit of know how )
Soon my problem will be finding disserving friends to give the excess.
I used to sell a lot of produce, muscadines, blackberries and blueberries.
When my wife became too sick to collect the money, I was too busy, so I
started giving it away.
Most did not appreciate the cost, effort, and sweat required to grow
the food, so today I only give it to old friends, that have proven to be
friends over many years.
This week I discovered something interesting. Honey bees do not pollinate
the string beans, instead the bumble bees were doing it. I knew this was
the case with the Blueberries.
And there are 27 hives of honey bees, 200 feet away. I guess they have
something better to do.
I have been picking 5 gallons of squash, 5 gallons of string beans, and
soon will pick 5 gallons of okra per picking. Not a lot, I could grow much
more, but that will make several people happy.
