It also depends on what kind of zucchini you planted. Different varieties will have different results. Below is a link to a trial done by the Master Gardeners of Santa Clara Co, CA, on summer squash (yellow crooknecks and others as well as zukes). They compared varieties for taste, texture, ease of picking, time from planting to first harvest (a range from about 40 to 70 days, depending on variety), harvest size (most varieties produced somewhere between 50 and 150 squash, with the total weight of harvest being between 50 and 100 pounds of squash, depending on the variety), etc. It didn't say how long it will continue producing, but like with everything else, it probably depends on the variety. See if the variety you planted is on the list, and see what it says. I don't know how long one plant will continue producing. I've never really kept track of when they peter out in the fall.

One more thing: I hate rabbits around because of raccoon ringworm (see above), so I am always looking out to keep them far away. And this summer, because we planted a garden for the first time, the rabbits went crazy even though they can't get into it, they still come to our yard like magnets now!!! We have started to see them everywhere. And, with very little rain this summer, we have lots of yellow patches in the yard. Guess what is inside of 99%, just about each one without exception? Rabbit poop. Of course the yellow spot is from the rabbit urine. If dog urine kills grass, of course rabbit urine will too. I will re-start to use the rabbit repellent, It is all natural, find it on Amazon, made from desiccated eggs, smells terrible but is harmless. But you have to reapply after it rains. Any better ideas?... And a low wire fence to keep rabbits out - but that will be $ hundreds or a thousand in a large yard..... any better ideas? I don't know how to restore the grass back, though.... re-seed?

Many years ago, I had a upsetting, disagreement with a close family member. That night I wrote a long, rambling letter bringing up every thing this person did from the beginning of time. I was upset and, maybe its a female thing, I wrote this ridiculously long letter using Word so I could password protect it. I had thought I would sleep on it and reread it the next day before sending. I didn't want to send an email. Well, needless to say, the next day the problem resolved. Everything was wonderful, I totally forgot about the letter. Long time later (maybe a year), I'm cleaning out my computer and find this cryptic Word doc that I couldn't open. I was deleting a bunch of junk. Then, I remembered that letter ! It was not something I would want on my computer (as life with this person was wonderful). So, I tried to delete it, couldn't. Needed a password. Had no idea what that could be. I was upset when written and heaven knows what I came up with. That letter still sits on this computer. I could never figure out the password. Back then, I thought I would have a new computer (this one is XP) and I would wipe the drive. Well I'm still using this machine and hope I can finally wipe it out and get a new machine. On another note, I worked in the medical field for years. Sometimes I would write letters for patients from home (rather than the office computer) in the evening to save time at work. I would password those letters, copy them on a flash drive and taken them to work. Copy to the work machine then delete from the flash and the home machine. Not ideal, probably not the best thing to do, but I did it. Any patient letters were always password protected. I sympathize with the OP as I've been there many times. If I did that now, I would write the password down. I didn't back then and never found a way to open that personal letter. I'll wait for Windows 10 then wipe this drive. Hope you find a way, Jane

Mantis, I did miss your question. Snidely Whiplash was hybridized by Mike Georges of Canada. I don't know much about him. We have heard him speak a couple of times. He has similar tastes to mine--teeth, eye and edges, and watermarks. We didn't buy Snidely Whiplash directly from him but we got it at the auction at the Can Am in 2016. I bet it is isn't available in the U. S., but I haven't looked. Mike maintains a website. His garden is called Quintessential Daylilies. That's really all I know except that buying Snidely Whiplash was a good idea. It's fertile and looks as if it likes it here. Nancy
