as small as a world and as large as alone

my grandparents have to lock their car doors when they go to sunday mass because people have been breaking in to unlocked cars and leaving entire piles of zucchini

i feel like i should’ve added more context when i posted this. my grandparents live in a rural area where farmers and casual gardeners alike are, at this point in the year, suddenly being hit with unexpectedly abundant zucchini crops. there aren’t just some random vandals leaving zucchinis in people’s cars for the hell of it, this is the work of some very exasperated, probably very elderly, folks who have more zucchini than they know what to do with

Zucchini does that.  It takes over as much space as possible, and multiplies ridiculously, even in “bad” years.

I used to be in charge of taking eggs, zucchinis, and tomatoes to people in our neighborhood because we ended up with so many of all of those things so much of the time that we couldn’t possibly use them all, even counting the stuff we canned.
