Zucchini is great but it's kind of hard to eat 1 zucchini a day for 4 months straight (the consequence of growing a single plant).

If you're just eating it sure, but throwing it into some chili, or stew you'll hardly notice it.

1 zucchini is nothing. It shrinks a lot when fried for a while.

Then eat the blossoms before they turn into actual zucchinis. Mexicans have enough recipes to keep you busy for 4 months straight.
