Some people are celebration National Zucchini Day today, but the full proper title of the holiday is National Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor's Porch Day. August 8 is the peak of zucchini season, when you've already tried every recipe known to man to use up the zucchini from your garden, but every day you get more, and they are growing to enormous sizes. Yeah, you could just offer them to your neighbors, but they would say no thanks, we have plenty already, and that doesn't help you at all.

The alternative is to just leave a box full of zucchini on their porch when no one is looking, and now it is their problem. And who is to blame for this?

The zucchini is so big this year, you may need a forklift for your sneaking.
Tomorrow is

My husband and his grown-ass friends ding dong ditched a zucchini on their friend’s porch this weekend.

But seriously, if you have more zucchini than you can eat, it can be frozen, or pickled, but the best way to get rid of it is to take it to your local food bank. Food banks often have no way to store fresh food, but check their operating hours, and give them a call. They might be able to distribute all your extra garden produce that very day!
