NEVER AGAIN until bigger garden!!!,

"My first year planting and the only things that were successful out of all the seedlings were: hot peppers, tomatoes, and yellow zucchini. Not knowing what my first results were going to be, I transported about 12 stems (from seedlings) to an area of 3 x 5 feet...what a mistake!!!
At first (June 2008) it showed little progress; then the plant leaf stem/or arm started growing at an alarming rate, getting as long as 2-3 feet in length with enormous leaves. Then around July, these -yellow looking- thick baby zucchini's started to emerge. By August to late September, we grew so many zucchini's it took up most of my little garden; so many were produced that we were forced to give a lot away to friends and family. It was most remarkable, I felt proud.
The taste was sweet, the color bright yellow, healthy texture feel, and large in size. I would HIGHLY recommend this to any first time gardener; just please get a bigger plot than 3 x 5 feet (as this is not enough for even 5 plants). One more thing, if you think harvesting or pulling 5 zucchini's at once will reduce your quantity, you're wrong...10 more healthy zucchini's will replace those five you pulled. Ensure a good fertilizer -with miracle grow- is used (I usually mix 50% natural dirt with 50% fertilizer)."
