Zucchini

Zucchini is part of the summer squash family. Zucchinis come in different shapes, from long and narrow to short and round. Zucchini range in color from dark green to lighter shades of green and yellow. Some have stripes, and many are highlighted with speckles. Zucchini squash is so plentiful in home gardens that there is an "official night" for getting rid of it: National Sneak Some Zucchini On To Your Neighbor's Porch Night (August 8).
