The land is alive under the warm summer sun. Where there is water vegetation is clamoring in a race for the sky. Collards are head high; beets are beautiful; the first carrot has perfect form; and the squash corner could be a palace for a cat. From the prolific plants comes the beginning of the summer harvest…so they say.

Is this a newfangled bat?

Is it a missile?

No, the giant zucchini is a feast for an army!

Let the zucchini patrol on the loose because there are doubtless more hiding in the jungle.
