I'm glad I read this thread before we decide what all to plant in the spring! I do know that we tried carrots in the past and now that you mention it, they never got too nice at all. I learned my lesson about zucchini when we used to have a garden, too... a little bit of planting goes a LONG way! Hehe I don't mind extra tomatoes because there's so much to make with them, but that year we got so sick of zucchini! |

I'm more the friend who benefits when someone else's garden grows far more squash or cucumbers than they expected.
I can see how some people may find growing vegetables relaxing, but I'm more the type who finds it relaxing to have other people bring me the vegetables they cared for and grew. |

Well now that's not a bad way to do things either! I like being given free food, too... but there's something special about knowing we grew it ourselves, too. |

Each according to his own needs. Not every do like working with the earth but that's fine. If everyone plants squashes and cukes, who's gonna take care of the usually over abundant produce?

I guess this is why some people (I won't mention names hehe) end up looking for a bajillion recipes to use up zucchini and end up making strange things like zucchini cupcakes. |

Haven't tried the zucchini cupcakes yet, but I might! We do grow a lot of zucchini, but I shred the excess and freeze it, then pull it out during the year to make fried zucchini patties and zucchini bread and cake. We also grow tomatoes, cucumbers and herbs, though the kids ate most of the tomatoes right off the vines this year!
