Yes!
I pressed the wrong key on my keyboard and stuff flashed by on the
screen, somehow posting my message here instead of in the National
Cooking fidonet echo.
My apologies for the noise.

Maybe something in this echo of late made Ben think that readers here would want/need to know how to make zucchini pickles? :D

procedures to conserve them.
The problem is my zucchinis are so big that slicing them is not enough to make them go into a regular jar. These days I just cut them into cubes and can them at high presure with water and salt. Not glamourous, but a man has to do what a man has to do.
holy crap your zucchini is THAT thick?!

Yeah, they regularly grow close to the size of a pumpkin. Land here is very good, you could toss a rotten apple and next year there would be an apple tree growing in there :-)

well i think it's from breeding. do they taste bitter when they're that size. do they have a ton of seeds?
Would you classify that as a Zucchini problem or a Jar Problem?

They aren't bitter at all, and I'd say they have a moderate amount of seeds, but not a whole lot.
i really want to have a garden again but i'm afraid the growing window is smaller where i live and also it's a ton of work.

You can always cheat the system and raise some greenhouse up. Even if you don't put much effort into the greenhouse endevour it is very easy to get 2 extra months of gardening, unless your area is very very bad :-)
It is true it is a lot of work if you are in it alone. It really pays to

It is true it is a lot of work if you are in it alone. It really pays to have somebody else help you out. I also cheat and have a lot of
automation in place.I use weed sheet to prevent random weeds from overtaking the harvest area, I have automatic watering, the usual stuff. It
is
harder to set up than regular harvesting, but once the start of the season is over you work soooo much less.
