I use a lot of my zukes to make zucchini pancakes. I use 4 cups of grated zucchini, an egg or two, a teaspoon of baking powder, a teaspoon of salt and however much flour it takes to make a batter. I usually add some vegetable oil to the batter as well to discourage sticking. Once I have the basic batter, I can take it in a number of different directions: Italian, Mexican, Asian, sweet, etc. by adding spices and whatever else. The batter itself is very mild tasting and easily takes on whatever character you want to give it.

When an occasional zucchini gets away from me and grows too large, I slice it in half lengthwise, remove the seeds from the center, and then stuff and bake it. Brown ground beef with some onion, salt, pepper, add tomato sauce and rice if you like, or a cheese sauce, top with shredded cheddar, mozzarella or Parmesan cheese. Place in a baking dish, cover, bake @ 350 F about 45 minutes. Overgrown zucchini can also be shredded, packed 2 cups at a time into zip-lock bags, and frozen to be used in recipes (zucchini bread) through the winter.

One tip for using zucchinis is to slice them fairly thin and dry the slices. They taste lovely dried! You can add a bit of spice, but too much and they will get very intense as it concentrates as they dry. This works with oversized fruit, if its not too big!

Mix the yellow and green with sliced/quartered onion, olive oil or butter, salt/pepper and a dash of oregano. Saute to desired doneness. Makes very pretty side dish and onion sweetens the squash even further. Optionally quarter tomatoes and add at end just to warm. Even more colorful. Very Italian vibe. Note: This is actually best sauteed in margarine, but hydrogenated oils are another story.

I grow in Louisiana, have no problem with slugs/snails in my raised garden beds but use a method for controlling non-vine type plants. I once had a mildew problem, to solve this I began pinching off all stems leaving 3 to 6 inches away from the main plant of any leaves which touch the ground. I leave alone all leaves with upward pointing stems. Start this process when plants are mostly mature & flowering. Removing ground touching leaves slows down powdery mildew & allows bees better access to the plants plus allows increased airflow. Plants will actually have a longer life cycle & pinched off stems & leaves do well in the mulch pile. Thanks to the posters who recommended dehydration chips & allowing a few end of season to "mature" into gourd type fruits which I can store for a few months. I will experiment doing both this year. I have 18 plants in my garden & am very popular with friends, relatives, neighbors.

I second chocolate chip zucchini cake, one quart of shredded zucchini per recipe, same amount for zucchini bread and zucchini pizza crust. Shredded raw zucchini dries in 5 or 6 hours in a dehydrator and is great in homemade backpacking hot water only dinners, plus throw a couple handfuls in winter soups. We have squash bugs. The romanesco variety is less tasty to these destructive insects, and stays edible for people even when it gets large. Surrounding the vines with calendula also helps keep the hugs away. Just one plant per garden, one year we got 16 foot long vines. Watch out for zucchini surprise, we have found a few 24 pounders lurking that were not there the day before.

LOL We ALWAYS end up with the monster Zucchinis! IT NEVER Fails!! One day we will go out and check them and they will be too small to pick. Next day still too small. So we wait 2 days and suddenly they have grown to MONSTER Size!! LOL As to what/how we use Zucchini: We usually shred up, measure out and then freeze some of the Zucchini in containers that are sized just right for most of the recipes that we use the Zucchini in. We use the Zucchini to make Zucchini bread or Zucchini cake.

We're having the longest zucchini season. Finally wrapped the stem with foil to foil the squash vine borer. It really worked. Next year will wrap higher as the plant grows. Favorite way to use them is cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh leaving a 1/4" border. Put cut side down on the grill for 10 minutes or so . Put in your favorite filling. We use mexican seasoned ground meat and top with cheese. Return to the grill filling side up until the cheese melts and the bottom is slightly browned. We're having this tonight as a matter of fact and we're adding some corn kernels cut off the cob. Yum.

Just discovered your channel and so glad I have, all my gardening questions are being answered!! I have grown yellow courgettes/zucchini for the first time ever in raised beds this year. They have been more than prolific and I am getting 1-2 fruits per day! Best cooking idea so far is to just thinly slice, drizzle with olive oil and sea salt, mix with hands and then scatter homegrown thyme (which I have) on them. Then in the oven on a high heat, turning/tossing occasionally - 10/15 mins later they are absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for all your fabulous tips, absolutely spot on!

I'm growing a cultivar called limelight, a light green skinned variety. Looking forward to it later this summer.

you're so lucky you can start squash so early in the year :) Here in the UK we have to wait still till around late April / May!

Just started one pot with a yellow variety plan to do one more pot with green. This is a great guide.

I live in Abruzzo and you can sow your second round of zucchini in July and be seed to flower in 30 days. It Rocket dockets here. You can get two full crops from end of April to end of September.
