I just harvested my first zucchini of the year only about 12 hours ago when I first woke up today. I wasn't sure if it was going to be ready because I have never picked one of these vegetables this early in the season before. I was a little leery on picking it, but once I felt how strong it was and the sound it made when I tapped on it I knew that it was time to pick it.
It ended up being a good choice because then I used it for dinner today and it was well worth the wait and all the work that I put into getting them. I hope to pick many more this season, but this is just the beginning and I have more that are growing. I just need to keep an eye on them and watch for any squash borers that might take up residence in the stems.
Other than picking this zucchini I have been weeding the entire garden for the past week. This process is always a pain, but it is something that I have to do in order to get vegetables and fruit like the one I just picked today. This is why weeding is very important for all plants.
Just some pictures I took of the garden when I was finished weeding it for the most part.
