Your pickled products look amazing!
May I suggest a different approach for at least some of the zucchini?

Karen - I do make a chocolate zucchini cake that is very similar. But I have a LOT of zucchini, so thought I'd try something else, too.
I also like to slice it into 'coins', dip it in egg, then flour and spices and fry it. Yummy.
Everything looks so good. I used to make zucchini pickles. Followed the regular pickling recipe for cukes. Works very well. I would think zuke mustard pickles would be amazing.
Leah - I'm thinking they will be, too. I will pick the smaller zukes (of which there are many) and give it a try. (The mustard beans are amazing, and the recipe is almost identical!)
It all looks so good! There's no way i could decide which to serve first.
Looks lovely sis. Enjoy your pickles.
Thanks, messymimi! Hubby tore into the mustard beans immediately. Solved the dilemma.
Reb - thanks. I know I won't have to share them with you. :)
Not a fan of dill, or of pickled anything, here, but they sure do look pretty.
With some of your zucchini, slice them length-wise and substitute for the lasagna noodles in lasagna. Juicilicious!

Mary Anne - sorry to hear you are not a pickle fan. (Not even mustard pickles??)
My zucchini is still really, really small. Need rain, I think. But will make fabulous pickles.
I need to learn about canning. I've never once attempted it and I'm thinking that next year, I will. You've inspired me, Baggie.
Hilary - you won't be sorry. (Well, unless you do it on a really, really hot day and don't have air conditioning in your house. But you're smarter than I am, aren't you?)
A really good way to start is with something simple like dill pickles. Buy one of Bernardin's books on preserving. Very helpful - good recipes and easy to follow instructions. And you can buy a "home canning kit" now. Everything you need.
Oops, is my enthusiasm showing?
mmm...I LOVE dilled carrots.
And fried zucchini.
And mustard beans.
Now I'm hungry...:)
