You know what happens when you harvest 200 pounds of zucchini and you don’t have a market for it all? There’s only so many zucchini that people can buy at a farmer’s market or that they can get in a CSA. (It means that you end up eating a lot of zucchini. It means that the food shelf gets a lot of zucchini.)

It means zucchini gets left in the cooler, forgotten and unloved, until it grows a full head of hair and looks like Bob Ross.

And regardless of how much you tell everyone to label the bins of zucchini that they harvest with the date, and to sort them so that the oldest ones are in front, inevitably some joker puts an old ass bin of squash in the bottom back corner where you don’t know it’s there until the entire cooler stinks and you’ve got to sleuth it out.
