National Leave A Zucchini On Your Neighbour's Porch Day

It's that time of year again! Did you grow zucchini's in your garden? Well, that means it's time to share the harvest with your neighbours. August 8th is officially, "National Leave A Zucchini On Your Neighbour's Porch Day!" 


In case you’re new to this holiday, we are here to tell you exactly how to celebrate! Start by harvesting your zucchini from your garden. Give them a good wash and line them up. Next decide, who you’ll be leaving your zucchinis for. You might even want to write a list to be fully prepared for the big giveaway. Next, decide what time you’ll be going. Night time is best, as you want to be incognito mode, almost like a ninja while giving them away. Your neighbours aren’t supposed to know who has left the zucchini for them! If you have a lot of zucchinis, you may even want to recruit some helping hands to get the job done efficiently. 

Ok, so you’re already to go? Get out there and have fun giving back to your neighbours! Just imagine their faces when they open their door and see a zucchini waiting for them on their porch.
