And don't even think about trying it on me.  The growing season just
ended here and the man across the street kept us in tomatoes (no
complaints there), eggplant, yellow squash (zucchini of a different
colour) and zucchini all season.  Heck without even having a garden we
ended up with zucchini compost too.

And now it's too late to panic.  :-)
