With the onset of rain here in Portland, the zucchetta vines are going crazy. They have snaked throughout my garden and into my trees, dangling their long squash like semi-obscene fruit. The blossoms, still gorgeous, are fewer now, and there are so many ripe zukes, ranging from a good 10″ x 1″ to a horrendous 6″ x 32″, that I’ve set up a free stand in front of my house.
