Zucchini can be dark or light green. A related hybrid, the golden zucchini, is a deep yellow or orange color. In a culinary context, zucchini is treated as a vegetable; it is usually cooked and presented as a savory dish or accompaniment. Botanically, zucchinis are fruits, a type of botanical berry called a pepo, being the swollen ovary of the zucchini flower. Zucchini, like all squash, has its ancestry in the Americas.
Worms lay eggs in the soil. Most earthworms are not native in a lot of places in North America, especially the northern latitudes and coniferous forests. Virginia should have lots of worms. The nightcrawlers and the red worms that are the most common in gardens are both European species.
Most of the eggs are brown because they come from a breed of chicken that lays brown eggs. The main breed we have is called the Delaware. We have a few bantam hens (that lay tan-colored eggs) which add up to a variety of egg colors. The eggs are different sizes! Yup, currently we do not grade our eggs. So you get the âstarterâ eggs laid by young hens, along with the larger eggs laid by our mature hens.
