Google Tiffany Eckhart song 'Zuccini Cake'

Victorian singer/songwriter Tiffany Eckhart jokes that no-one dares
leave their car unlocked in her little town at this time of year
because of the danger of finding it filled with local gardeners
excess zuccinis :)

like most gardeners, Tiffany hates to waste the fruits of her
gardening labour, so grates zucchini into salads & pasta,
roasts big ones stuffed with cooked grains, herbs & vegies
and loves her friends Chocolate Zuccini Cake recipe.
...which inspired her v cute song 'Zuccini Cake'

...so I had to smile today to see 2 large zuccini in the basket
of someones bike parked next to the garden
....and another 2 at the downhill entrance to the garden
hope they're well used by the lucky harvesters!

I popped in the above seedlings today
- please give them a drink when you pop by
as warmer days are forecast this week.

While tidying up the garden and repairing (sigh!)
the senselessly vandalised end trellis fence
today I discovered lots of mixed bean seeds
in some of the streetside beds so watch for them
to sprout over the coming months.

Happy Easter everyone!
