I can tell you one way to have way too many zucchini;
Mom loves cucumbers, so she planted them all over. She also loves zucchini, but she did not see any coming up so we had to go and BUY a 6 pack of seedlings.
Well, about a month later we realized, all those cucumbers mom planted, were actually zucchini!
On a side note, we are looking for Greyzini Zucchini seeds if anyone has extra
Last year we had TON of it... sooo.. i shredded it up into 2 cup portions.... and now when i want zucchini bread its handy in my freezer...
I also shredded up a bunch and froze it for the critters to eat during the winter here.... they're STILL eating it!
