Zucchini

Planted around the first of May, and again in midsummer for a second crop.

Available early June to July, again in September until the first frost in the fall.

TIPS:

Zucchini needs to be refrigerated.

GREAT on the grill with a little olive oil, garlic, and sea salt: try both the yellow and green varieties together for a more colourful meal.
