      Thank you. Considering I thought they were dead from the wind completely bending the stocks over and didn't think they would survive. I do believe I even did a disaster video about them, lol. These ones were started indoors and transplanted out. McKenzie is the name brand and called: Zucchini (Dark Green) and Zucchini (Gold Rush)

    You have a beautiful field with many veggies growing in ur garden🌻 May you reap a harvest!

      Thank you Lina. That is a very good idea. I do not know yet about her family's plans yet. If I cannot, than I can always make a memorable garden bed here for her 🥰 So sorry to hear of your friends passing as well. I pray that all find comfort in fond memories to cherish ❤🙏

    Hi Krista. I'm trying to catch up on the videos I am very sorry for the loss of your neighbor friend. It's always good to take some time and think about your happy times together. I got stung while visiting a friends garden- We have a ton of hornets here and they haven't bothered me. the zucchinis are fabulous. My friend (who I visited) planted some round zucchini -they are from Mexico. They are about the size or a bit smaller than my watermelon is right now. I might slice them and dip them in egg & flour and fry them. The sweet potato bed looks great.

      Thank you Barby 🥰 Those are large zucchini's if they are the size of a watermelon, wow. Yes, I think that would make a great meal. I was actually thinking of doing the same this week as a meal idea 🙂

    Krista, here's one of my favourite zucchini favourites:
    ROASTED ZUCCHINI SAUCE
    An easy & tasty sauce that adds a pop of flavour, freshness, and tons of nutrients in a little dollop. Delicious on pasta, eggs, or as a dip.
    Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 12
Author Meme
    Ingredients
1 lb zucchini chopped, about 3 squash
1 large onion chopped
3 cloves garlic peeled
3 TBSP olive oil divided
3/4 tsp salt divided
1/2 cup vegetable broth unsalted, or chicken broth, plus more as needed
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1-3 TBSP fresh lemon juice
    Instructions
    Preheat oven to 375°F.
    Toss together chopped zucchini, onion, and garlic cloves with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1/4 tsp salt. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet or baking dish, and roast in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until browned. Set aside for a few minutes to cool.
    Transfer cooled veggies to a food processor and add broth, sunflower seeds, and remaining 1/2 tsp salt. Process until smooth.
    Stream in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and one tablespoon lemon juice. Process until incorporated. Add more broth if needed.
    Add more lemon juice if needed {can also add more salt, olive oil, or sunflower seeds}. Keep refrigerated for up to 4 days.
    Notes
*Makes 3 cups
*I use unsalted, raw seeds. Roasted sunflower seeds will give a more pronounced flavor to the sauce.
