Squash
I planted 4 squash plants last year, including 2 zucchini. It was plenty.
I wish I had remembered this fact a couple of months ago.
I now have 20 squash plants (though only 14 are really producing, which is still 10 more than necessary).
A sustainable squash garden? I don't think so. A man can't be sustained on squash alone.
Come by a Gardeners' Swap Meet on a Wednesday evening, and I will gladly share some with you, including "Bennings Green Tint," pictured above. (I planted 7 of them.)
ZUCCHINI PANCAKES
4 cups shredded zucchini
4 eggs
1/3-1/2 cup flour (wheat or white)
1/2 – 1 cup chunks of cheese (feta, cheddar, or gruyere)
1/2 – 1 cup chopped onion
plenty of black pepper
salt to taste
Mix together to create a batter, fry in the oil of your choice (olive or vegetable oil).
Serve with yogurt or sour cream.
