When I left to go camping last weekend, my Root Riot Oak Park community garden plot contained a bloom here and there on my squash and zucchini plants.
Today, after about 9 days, I came back and found one tiny squash growing and one GIANT zucchini.
Pictured here with a quarter for reference. A quarter doesn’t help, you say? Well, I’ll simply mention that it’s about as big as my forearm. To be honest, I regretted my lack of a camera when I stopped by as the entire Root Riot garden is just exploding with growth. Maybe tomorrow I’ll get a good shot – and I’d love to see any community garden photos my readers would like to share, either of Root Riot’s or another community garden. For now, however, I’m happy with my first mini-harvest from my plot.
Sing with me, will you?
Attaaaack of the giant zucchini…attaaaack of the giant zucchini!
