And just like that, zucchini game is ON.
My mini man likes zucchini just like his mama, so I thought it would be awesome to grow some in the garden…but for the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW my plant has produced nothing but males. What. The. Heck. !?!?
So I bought some at farmer’s market.
And made muffins. Mini ones to be exact. And they don’t call for any sweetener at all so they are perfect for little ones with un-warped palates. Or adults who want to give their sweet tooth a break. They are still divine and perfect little snack bites thanks to the natural sugar from the ripe banana, so don’t go dismissing these before you’ve even tried them. Plus, they whip up in one bowl in seconds.

I’m just backyard gardener like yourself but I wondered if you had at least 2 zucchini plants planted?They need a partner.
