Harvesting zucchini is one of my favorite things to do on the farm; however, this does not mean it is one of the easiest. The zucchini and the plant itself are extremely fragile. A fingernail can easily pierce the skin of the zucchini while picking them or placing them in the container. When this occurs, the cut will allow pathogens to enter, which increases the rate at which the zucchini will rot. I guess I enjoy them the most because you have to have a little bit of love for each zucchini, using great care with everything you do.
