Zucchini

I can never get it right...I always end up with zucchini coming out of my ears in the summer. The first year I had a garden I didn't know any better and planted the whole packet of seeds. The huge plants took over almost the entire garden and demanded tons of water. The rate of grow was staggering...I could harvest at least a half a dozen zucchinis every day. We ate them, we gave them away we threw them out for the deer to eat and some just got left where they were. One time I didn't make it out to the garden for a about three days and when I did venture out there I came upon a zucchini that actually scared me and made me gasp it was so big. My first thought was that it was some sort of animal laying there.

Every year since then I have planted a few less zucchini seeds, but I still have tons of them. This year I planted two seeds and guess what...they are everywhere! I'm desparately looking for that zucchini relish recipe that my Mom used to use.
