I have tried so many times to grow my own zucchini & it never seems to grow but this year I have grown 5 of them I am so pleased & had to show you that I made these loaves of zucchini bread with my own home grown lol 2 chocolate & walnut & 2 walnut & craisins.

These look so yummy Lorraine, what's your recipe secret.. Would love to try it.

I just got it on line & substituted the butter for applesauce & added a cup of each walnuts & craisins. for the chocolate I added 1/2 cocoa powder. hope this helps

ooohhh delicious.
My experience with zuchinni was great until the bees decided it was a good idea to pollinate the zuchinne with the spaghetti squash. We ended up with a strange looking vegetable that tasted like zuchinni! I havent been able to grow any since. I think we might have to give it another try without the squash in the garden this time

thanks so much, you know funny that you mention this but I didn't grow any squash this year & I have to wonder now if my zucchini did so well because of this? I wonder if any other cuties have successfully frown the both of them together? ~hugs~

Yes, I have grown them ,too. The first year I put 2 cup shredded portions in a zip lock bag and froze them and i never used them all up. Then I! thew them out and then I quit saving them. This year i have yellow squash and I am enjoying them. Kay

1/2 cup cocoa but I think 1/4 would do too, thanks

I am glad you finally had success. It is so rewarding to get produce from the own garden. My zucchini plants are not doing well this year. In the past I had overload.

Mine too!! Getting some, but not like years before. The yellow squash is going nuts, however!

see everyone around me is having trouble with their zucchini too but mine is doing the really well. I did add a mixture of peat moss vermiculite pearls sheep manure & soil. Every other year I have done horse manure........Now if I could get the squash to grow that would be wonderful too lol
