Zucchini Season!!! And my favorite grilled zucchini recipe...

Ding-ding-ding... Let the Zucchini Games begin:@) It's always an exciting time when the garden starts producing zucchini, and this year's official date for picking the first one was 6/6/24. 

You can see the stakes, this year's garden experiment is vertical zucchini... Here I have the first two straps holding it to the pole. So far I like this idea:@)

I can already tell I don't have enough of the velcro and may be switching to what I'm joking is Redneck Gardening and using duct tape😃 The plant on the right -might- be allowed to sprawl into the yard, we will see. 

And the first zucchini was growing straight down and literally buried itself 1/2" into the dirt... Since I'm always trying to find more uses for k-cups, yep, I rested the zuke on one, it elevated it off the ground and worked great:@)

What to do with these over-achieving garden gifts? I highly recommend this Curried Honey Mustard Marinade for Grilling. In over 14 years of blogging, this is (to date) my favorite way to serve zucchini and yellow summer squash as a side dish. There is also a link to using the marinade for chicken kabobs if you'd like to go that route too. 

Eat well, enjoy the garden, and 

Have a Happy Day:@)
