After popping a couple of cherry tomatoes in my mouth, straight off the vine, I take the rest inside and wonder how lucky I am.

I suspect I should have thinned out the suckers a bit more than I did, but I&#8217;ll be fine. I&#8217;ve eaten three relatively small [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=varmintbites.com&amp;blog=1707199&amp;post=2054&amp;subd=varmintbites&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Just enough to cut up the zucchini, sauté it in some olive oil, add some fresh basil, a splash of lemon and sea salt. It was perfect.
