Zeke and Zelda

Zucchinis, they are. A pair of plants that popped up almost immediately after seeds were in the ground. Spirited and talented, Z&Z got there last but came up faster and stronger than any of their competitors, e.g., corn, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, eggplants. Not to mention carrots. They're still hiding. Have to admit, though, lettuce and turnips are almost as eager to head the class. They arrived first, showed some green and started a slow but steady path to what I hope will be their debut in a salad or a honey stir fry come Memorial Day or mid-June. You're all invited!
