LOL, tell Dear Richard that next year, you'll skip the asparagus and plant zucchini instead. THAT should scare him (and half the neighbors) into silence.BBQed spare ribs in the NFG. Asparagus (much to Dear Richard's chagrin). Applesauce from the freezer. And some braided rolls that I'm working on now.
When we plant zucchini and the neighbors see me coming, they run into the house and lock the door! Not really, they're always happy to take what we give them. Although one year, I planted enough zucchini that it pretty much took over the garden. We ate zucchini for weeks and weeks on end, I gave it away, I would have paid people to take it. That was the year that I canned a double batch of zucchini relish and even gave that away!LOL, tell Dear Richard that next year, you'll skip the asparagus and plant zucchini instead.

That poem is perfect!Winchester I adore this abundance of zucchini poem by Marge Piercy: Attack Of The Squash People by Marge Piercy
