@jakeduck, @imallears, Zucchini.....was such a part of my childhood. My Dad the "once a farmer, always a farmer" guy, planted them and grew the biggest ones. My poor Mom had to find things to do with them because nothing could go to waste. So...Zucchini Pie with vegetables and also with apples, Zucchini Bread, Zucchini Cake, you name it. Even after Alzheimer's left him alone with his memories, he would sit with me and point out how well the peaches were growing. We also grew daffodils and he loved those. During my visits, I always let him take me anywhere he wanted to go with his memories until he lost his voice and his words. Be happy and healthy today. Here's a daffodil for you Dad. Chris

Oh what a great story. I grew zucchini also in Long Island but probably never as big as your Dad’s. We all made zucchini bread and it was a farm stand staple...another sweet and moist “pound” cake. Who doesn’t love daffy dills as I call them..they’re beautiful.
Sending a whole bunch to your dad now......💐
