I have been told the best thing is to eat the zukes when they are still tiny - they are very tender and you can consume more of them.

One tip on potatoes. We plant them in a large garbage can. They take up less space and you don't have to dig up the entire garden looking for them!

A friend of mine plants his potatoes with a lot of space so when the plant gets tall, he puts a tire (yep, car tire) around it and packs straw into it. He makes potato condos 4 or 5 tires tall. The thing is that the potato is a tuber and grows from the base of leaves when there is no light. This sort of stores your food and makes 'digging' for them way easy! - just grab a tire and dig through the straw, you won't have to bend over to dig till late in the year.
