Zucchini

We harvested our first zucchinis yesterday.  We were waiting to see what the growers co-op wanted before we took the first harvest, so we ended up tossing quite a few baseball bat size zuccs.   Even tossing quite a bit in terms of weight, we were just under the amount requested by the co-op.  Now that we've taken our first harvest we'll setup a harvest schedule which should give us more consistent sizes and a more consistent production over all.  The only factor is the weather, and the main factor right now is rain.  We've gotten more today and the fields have quite a bit of standing water in them.  Only time will tell how long the water will stand in the fields so there is no need to fret about it right now.
