harvest time

Just in time to celebrate the autumnal equinox, we are happily harvesting our zucchini squash. A couple of days ago, we picked our first at about 8" long and weighed in at 12 lbs., 6 oz. But I guess you shouldn't let them get too big - the smaller the more tender. So yesterday we picked another, smaller this time. Now I hope to find time to make some yummy zucchini bread.
