Zucchini Are Growing!

In an effort to make up for my lack of posting for the last couple of weeks, I am a blogging fool today.

The zucchini I planted in February are getting very large. Some of the leaves are larger than my hand, which is a big surprise to me. The leaf stems are covered with prickly hairs that hurt when you push them aside to take a picture of the fruit, like I did today.

You can see the zucchini growing at the base of the flower. Its probably 2 1/2 inches long at this point and there are 3 others forming on this plant. I have three plants in the garden and all of them are starting fruit. I am so proud of the plants I started from seed. It gives me such a sense of accomplishment.

Will post more when I harvest...
