My lst zucchini harvest 30/1/2015 - Da 3Zs

Prime land plot

I never thought I'd live to swear that veggies can taste yummy.  If only Bear knew, he must think that my world is coming to an end!!! I planted 3 zucchini seedlings since I came home from my holidays and it is at most 6 weeks only and now these plants have taken over my so-called "prime land" and is overshadowing my chillie, aubergine and red capsicum.  Before long if it keeps growing at the speed it is doing, the 3Zs will most probably swallow up the rocket that is struggling to take off!!!  Everything seems to have grown at such a fast pace except for the rocket which was supposedly my "main crop" as I am on this rocket diet that is highly recommended by my Liver Specialist and thought it would be nice to grow my own!!!

It must have been those few hot days we had prior to Christmas that set the 3Zs off and ever since just with daily watering, they have turned into monster plants and I harvested my lst freak Z yesterday and he was a big boy!!! 



I had him over two meals!!!  It has to be a him Z, as she Z's surely cannot be that size?!?

I had to harvest the 2nd normal looking one and put them side by side so you can see how freaky in shape and size was the lst Z.
It tasted absolutely delicious!  The flavours and texture was excellent and it was still firm and crunchy after a quick stir fry and even when I popped half of it sliced up just plain into the microwave.

Yummy in my tummy!!

I only started gardening because I had to restore the "jungle look" - overgrown unloved and neglected garden as I have been away for 3 months. 

The prime land area has a history of potatoes being grown there prior to before we moved in, so I thought why not grow something edible just for the fun of it and to fill up the pile of dirt which was an eye sore.
I cannot remember exactly, but I think the punnet of 3Zs cost under $5.00 and now I think I will be eating Zs for the next few weeks if not months to come! 
It has been enjoyable watching the 3Zs grow and now after eating it and knowing it is 101% organic, there is definitely a difference!!!  

The big boy!!!

At the nursery, I did not have a clue and did not know what I wanted to plant and picking the 3Zs turned out to be a good choice.  They are care free and hassle free plants, so you don't have to do much after planting except wait for them to grow and harvesting time!

Little & Freak

Looks like now I will have to take veggie gardening a little bit more serious.  You could say I am "hooked" as it is indeed rewarding when something comes out of nothing if you know what I mean. 
Happy gardening and remember, you rip what you sow.
For me has been a good way to past my time and gardening can be therapeutic and it is a yummy hobby!!!
