For future gardens - you need two plants so they cross-pollinate. They can be the same variety.
And ... share your recipe? Everybody seasons differently and it's fun to compare notes and tastes!

I made this recipe, but I did not add salt or flax

They were super good. I still wouldn't eat just straight up zucchini though. Kind of like cucumbers... I will eat them in sushi, in sandwiches, and as pickles but I will not just eat them raw.

Any good Italian Mama will tell you that zucchini is not intended to be eaten raw ... it bites! The old men disagree - fresh out of the garden, peeled with your pocket knife, is the way to eat 'em. Me? I vote with Mama!

I thought the same till I tried fresh cucumber from my garden last year.

Much to everyone’s surprise.... IT ACTUALLY HAD FLAVOR!

Store-bought cukes are bland and nasty. You haven't eaten a cucumber until you
ve had one fresh from the garden - still crisp and "sweating" inside when you cut it!

I agree they’re better cooked

UPDATE on INDY
There is something magical about a vet's office. The instant an animal crosses the threshold they change completely. Well dogs become nervous, snappy basket cases that suddenly can't walk unaided. Sick and injured ones, even ones who yelp being lifted into the car, are instantly alert - apparently too tense to even limp when under the vet's scrutiny.

Such was my Indigo. The vet's Covid restrictions required me to hand my poor pup over to a very nice tech, so he went in without me. The vet checked him over and called me from thirty five feet and a stone wall away to tell me that, while Indy was definitely favoring the leg, he was putting weight on it. He allowed probing (I couldn't touch it!) and nothing appeared broken or dislocated. He was brought back with antibiotics, pain meds and a dubiously wagging tail. He ended up getting his annual shots, too, so I didn't get charged for a "sick" or "emergency" visit. I'll take it!

Then, as I was driving away, sharing the joy of a much smaller vet bill than expected with my DD, my car died. Two hours and the promise of a $200 alternator tomorrow, we were rescued by DS.

Whose turn is it to roll the dice? Let's keep this game moving. I'm ready for Jumanji to end!

Ohmygoodness.....cuz you didn't already have enough stuff happening to deal with, right? Now the car too? Bad alternator! Bad!!

Glad to hear the pup is going to be fine and got some meds to make her more comfortable for when she slips out of stoic dog statue mode and says "Mommy! I need Mommy's lap please".

Nice recipe. It doesn't need any dairy so I can make it with a simple flour switch. Thanks for posting it!
