I've been pretty busy, so have been ignoring the upper garden for about a week. Last night I decided to see what was going on up there before I turned on the sprinkler, and for the first time in my gardening life, I found . . . .
Baseball-bat zucchinis.
I've never let something go to this extent before. I remember looking late last week and seeing little tiny zucchinis, but I guess our 90 degree weather has encouraged them to grow, and grow, and grow.
The upside is that now I get to make some zucchini bread and try this recipe for Zucchini Fritters that I found on Christa's Calendula & Concrete blog. (Original recipe from The Skinny Chef.)
It looks like you can try A LOT of zucchini recipes, now. I think it has been a good zucchini year everywhere.

Jen: Mmmmm - zucchini fries sound wonderful. We tried the fritters on Saturday night, and even my zucchini-resistant husband thought they were wonderful.
