*chuckles* i guess its some sort of tradition i'm gonna have to guess that up here in idaho once one grows zuccinni- you must grow lots of it and give it to every tom dck and harry lol.. the last batch i got ws from one of my oldest son's bosses.. who said he had more coming (of course)

reminds me of when hubby's dad grew some (before i met him) i was told that they had grown so many zuccinnis that year the barn cats also multiplied very well too (musta been one heck of a fertilizer ) that when folks who came to visit went to leave they had to take a kitten or a bag of zuccinni lol..

folks stopped coming to visit for a while ;D
