Please bow your heads for a moment of silence...

...for our zucchini plant. :(

Poor zucchini plant, we hardly knew ye.

Perhaps I tempted the Gardening Gods by proclaiming how many wonderful veggies we would harvest from you.

Or maybe the local insects ganged together to wreak revenge on me for the murder of their compatriots.

Either way, it's passed on. The zucchini is no more. It has ceased to be. It is expired and has gone to meet its maker. It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If we hadn't nailed it to the perch....

oh...

wrong sketch! :D
