Zucchini Bread

I was able to accomplish a few things in the garden today. I was able to pollinate 1 squash blossom and several cucumbers. We do have quite a few bees in the squash flowers, so I could probably get away with not doing those, but I don't want to take any chances... lol. Like I need anymore squash right now!

I also managed to move my peas and French Horticulture Beans into 1 gallon pots today and they are all sharing a chicken wire fence to climb on. I will post photos tomorrow of them. I was able to pick another zucchini and ANOTHER yellow squash and also found 3 cherry tomatoes. For those of you that do container gardening, all four of my yellow squash plants are in 3 gallon containers and are doing just fine!

Anyway, I had been waiting for the zucchini to get big enough to pick so that I could make this:
