The next time you have too much zucchini, consider celebrating August 8th. It’s National Sneak Some Zucchini onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Day! For some gardeners, this day offers a way to rid their garden of an overproducing squash plant. Zucchini is called a fruit, but it grows like a vegetable. It’s ready to harvest in August. However, one plant produces so much zucchini that gardeners share with friends. Zucchini is also incredibly helpful with weight loss. This produce is low in calories, high in fiber, and full of water. As such, when you eat it, your tummy doesn’t feel empty. And hopefully, you are less likely to overeat. If your zucchini produces well, add it soups, salads, and baked goods. Surprise your neighbors with zucchini from your garden. They’re probably going to be happy about it. This will especially be true if they don’t have a garden of their own. You can also give them some flowers or other plants, but you might want to stick to vegetables if you have a lot of extra.
