National Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Day! This is the designated day that got me first interested in designated days!

As well it might! That's just hilarious!

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by valerie.

Smile logic on the smile, of course!

I love the idea of this!

For a while this summer I was almost keeping up with my zucchini plants, but now there are about five zucchinis on my kitchen counter. My neighbors had better lock their doors!

Ok, I can see how this one got you started. (As I sit here, smirking) Hilarious picture!

I feel left out! Nobody snuck a zucchini or ten on my porch! :-( Hoping for better luck if there's a sneak-a-tomato day.

You grow zucchini, you wind up with way too much zucchini, and the neighbors won't take any if you offer it. Sneaking it onto their porch is totally necessary!

Last winter, looking for a variety of zucchini that is resistant to a zucchini disease called powdery mildew, I ordered seeds for a sort-of-zucchini-like squash called "homs kousa." It turned out to grow energetically! One plant made an incredible amount of squash -- orders of magnitude more than a typical zucchini plant -- on giant vines that rambled all over my lawn the way pumpkin plants do. It eventually did catch powdery mildew, but I cut off the affected leaves and put them in the garbage, and the plant survived and kept on growing!

Babarann, if you lived near me I would totally share zucchini with you! Tomatoes, too!

That would be lovely, Val! :-)

Babarann -- It's a long shot, but are you located anyplace near Ann Arbor, Michigan? If you are, and if my garden grows well, I really will bring you squash and tomatoes next summer!
(You can e-mail me if you don't want to answer in public.)

I'm in central PA, but would you believe my son lives in Ann Arbor? He's a physician at Michigan Medicine. I just retired as of 12/31 and I'm thinking about trying my hand at a small garden with all this time on my hands now. No excuses anymore!

Coolness! And congratulations on your retirement!

If you're ever in Ann Arbor in zucchini/tomato season, please let me know!

Thank you! :-)
