Celebrate Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor's Porch Day in Murphy, NC
Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor's Porch Day in Murphy, NC? Now that's nasty! But hey, what else are you going to do with that endless supply of zucchini fruit (yes, its technically a fruit, but won't be too good with cool whip) as you celebrate this holiday - not just in Murphy, NC, but nationally, on August 8th.
Experienced gardener's know that Zucchini is one of the most prolific plants in all of the gardening world. A single plant produces a seemingly endless supply of Zucchini and a small row of zucchini has the potential to end world hunger.
By the time August arrives, local gardeners everywhere are reaping far more zucchini than they can possibly use. We use it in an untold number of recipes, from soups and stews, to breads, dips and casseroles. Don’t tell anyone, but Carol actually has a handy-dandy machine that turns it into spaghetti-like strands!
Still, the fruit matures on the vine faster than anyone can even pick it. Gardeners, almost desperate, as they try to give zucchini away to family, friends, coworkers and everyone they encounter. By August, even non-gardeners have had enough and it seems like everyone avoids you with your arms full of giveaway zucchini.
Desperate times calls for desperate measure. It's time to sneak over, under the cover of darkness, to your neighbor's porch, and unload some zucchini! This may solve your problem for today. But, what will you do with the harvest tomorrow!?! Do you have any favorite Zucchini recipes to share?
