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

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~
