Zucchini

It looks like it's going to be a good year for my Zucchini.  Last year it rotted before I could even pick it.  I think the problem was the fact that the bed was new and the soil didn't have the right mix to it.  But that was last year and this year things are looking up.


First batch was cooked in my cast iron skillet on the grill.  I sliced the zucchini, chopped some fresh herbs (Basil, Oregano, Rosemary and Thyme).  Mixed them together in a couple of tablespoons of Olive Oil, while the skillet heated up on the grill.  My skillet has a lid that I used while cooking and it also came in handy for sitting the finished Zucchini to the side while I finish cooking chicken on the grill.


Can't wait for more zucchini and summer squash to fry up in my skillet.  You know it's summer time when the summer squash and zucchini shows up in the farmers markets, so if you don't have your own garden be sure to hit the farmers markets in your area.
