I don’t believe in magic – but when I look at the Then and Now photos of my Zucchini plants – I really feel like something magical has taken place. Nature is truly amazing. It’s always been a provider – and a generous one at that.

Look at them – it still amazes me that they started off as a tiny, little seed – then grew to a substantial, individual plant. If that’s not impressive enough, look at the monster they have become.

And here, ready to be cooked up for lunch.
