Hi Karen! I'm brand new here too but a quick internet search of Perth and gardening zones and I think you are in Zone 9. I'm a little jealous since here in zone 5/6 we only get about 100 days of outdoor growing, but we each do the best we can. I'd take some of your zucchinis!

oh and some thing good to make with zucchini is bread also, and soups. it can be frozen,canned, or even dried. if you have chickens they would love some too. I am currently buried under a blanket of snow so am very jealous of your garden.
