Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Day

About that zucchini you planted in the garden earlier this year, it’s kinda taking over, isn’t it? By August, the fear of being squished under a mountain of summer squash seems all too real. No way to zoodle yourself out of this one; you need a Plan B.

Luckily, there’s a holiday that solves this problem. It occurs every summer on August 8: “Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Day” — a holiday that needs little further explanation, though it’s worth noting that porches are not technically required. Any doorstep will do. Go ahead — rid yourself of excess bushels of zucchini. Because sharing is caring.
