I ONLY HAD 6 DANG PLANTS! Next year I plant 2 plants. According to my calculations, you would have 36 zucchini if you planted 2  That brings back bad memories when I planted 20 courgettes... I got HUNDREDS of.... marrows.....that have been through..... Chernobyl nuclear disaster... !!!!!! |

Canning is awesome! You should try it Sem! I can all kinds of things (zucchini and apples this year, corn last year etc).
Boskelli, how many jars did you put up? Are you still in the thick of it?

Boskelli, you do canning? How cool. Yep - used to do a lot, but have cut back in recent years. We have Crabby Blue Elder jelly 6, blueberry/lime jam 6, apple sauce 20, peaches 18, zucchini - pickles 6 and relish 6 and hot pepper jelly 6. That plus all the frozen produce we have put up should keep us quiet for the winter |

That's awesome Boskelli! I made zucchini pickles this year too, 14 pints. I also did Apple sauce (8 pints), apple butter (4 pints), tomato sauce (4 quarts), pumpkin puree (so far 4 half pints but have more to do), violet jelly (2 pints) It's a lot of work but it's so great to have this stuff during the winter. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that still does canning!
