Our garden supplies many moments of entertainment for me. This installment takes a look at vegetable that everyone can grow and a quite beautiful flower.
I asked Megan to let this zuchinni grow so I could see how big it could get. This picture does it some justice but it is still hard to really appreciate its size. I measured it and it is currently about 2 1/2 feet long and about the same in circumfrence. I’m sure it would be absolutely awful if eaten. The other two pictures are of an artichoke that has flowered. Quite excellent and quite similar to the chardoon but they aren’t the same. If you go back aways in their evolution, I think they come from the same plant originally.
Theoretically, you could shred the zucchini and make zucchini bread. You could also let it dry out, paint it, and turn it into a giant zucchini maraca.
But as with the curse of the zuchinni, we’ve already eaten about 25 of them. I think I’ll have this one bronzed or maybe just throw it on the compost heap.
that’s not a zucchini, uncle beef!
i’ve seen that before,
that’s your trouser tadpole!
propose to strike the words “in their evolution” and replace the phrase “I think they come from the same plant originally” with “you see here incontrovertible evidence that these plants were designed by an intelligent being on or about the same time.”
