Do you have a green thumb? I definitely don't, not for house plants anyway, I tend to kill most plants within a week. Nevertheless, last year we put in a raised vegetable garden at the side of our house and we had some success.

Recipes to make with Zucchini
Stopping at farm stand on the long weekend to pick up some delicious corn on the cob, I yelled to the hubs to grab a zucchini.
