I have some funny zucchini plants that make “bombs.” When they get too big... Eldest Son and I thought maybe they are about right to use with a trebuchet. We could see how many neighbors’ yards we could launch zukes into.

rebeccad , what variety are those zucchinis? I've never had ones that became that rounded; they were always longer and slender, fatter when allowed to grow extra larger for baking, but then they looked more like giant hot dogs.

autumnmist, I can't find the tags from the plants I bought, so I don't know what kind they are. I've never seen ones that shape, either!

rebeccad , I think some adventurous pollinators were dallying between the seed supplier's zucchini and gourd fields and inadvertently created a hybrid. As to airborne zucchinis, I could consider launching my mulberries into the yard of a very disagreeable and hostile neighbor. It might encourage the birds and raccoons to visit his yard instead of mine. They like to climb up on rooftops as well, so he could face the prospect of babies exploring his chimney shaft, unless it's blocked to prevent critters from exploring and/or nesting. This guy should be living in a sterile environment b/c he hates nature so much.
