In my parents' backyard garden, I remember the year we planted just 2 zucchini plants. This was a big backyard garden shared with one of our neighbors since they had plowed up part of both of our yards. Anyhow, just 2 zucchini plants, two families, right? Those two plants produced enough zucchini to keep both families supplied with enough zucchini to include it in all the bags of vegetables we tried to give away to everyone we knew to help eat the extra food :)
