I came home to Keswick only to find that my garden vegetables converted into the vegetable equivalent of ‘Girl’s Gone Wild’ meet ‘Welcome to the Jungle’Â
![They're supposed to ripen and be purple, but so far they all look green to me. Must be from hanging out with the zucchini bullies.](https://i0.wp.com/thekeswickblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/IMG_2484.jpg?resize=580%2C427&ssl=1)
![These were our normal zucchinis before our vacation. Large, but not ridiculously so. Apparently, my presence stunts their growth. Perhaps the universe is telling me to stay on vacation?!?](https://i0.wp.com/thekeswickblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/zucchini2013.jpg?resize=580%2C388&ssl=1)
More about our vacation later, but in a nutshell, we DROVE to Florida, we DID NOT do DIsney, our kids had a FABULOUS time, and gas station washrooms in the South see A LOT more action than their counterparts to the north.
Now, I’m off to find some kick-ass recipes for zucchini pickles, this family can only eat so many cookies 😉
