5 or Less Collection: Zucchini White of Palermo, size: equilateral triangle with 36” sides, zone: 6-11, sun exposure: full sun, water level: 2 raindrops

$10.00

A crisp palette of white and green with soft golden undertones from zucchini and cucumber blooms keeps this design feeling fresh and airy. Fair warning — there's a little math involved with the triangle layout, but no trellises, no planters, no fuss. This mix of vegetables, herbs and one ornamental flower gets a fun twist courtesy of onions, the slow and steady members of the crew who like to take their sweet time before harvest. 5 plant varieties, 22 plants total — compact, clever, and completely worth the wait.

Recipe ideas:

Sour pickles

Cut flower bouquet of Tweedia and Za’atar

Fresh onion and cucumber salad, mixed with sour cream, salt and pepper

Za’atar tea

Zucchini Parmesan:

2 tablespoons organic olive oil

1 organic shallot, sliced

6 organic garlic cloves, minced

1/4 teaspoon chili flakes

1/4 cup local white wine

1 cup organic heavy cream

1/4 cup real grated Parmesan cheese, best if you grate it yourself.

2 cups freshly grated organic mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup reserved

3 zucchini, picked from your garden, sliced into 1/2" rounds

1 cup marinara sauce

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste.

Preheat the oven to 425°F and in a cast iron pan over medium-high heat add olive oil, shallot, garlic, and chili flakes. Cook for 1–2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with white wine, reduce heat to low. Once wine is almost gone, add in cream. When cream has started to simmer, add Parmesan and 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese. Season this cream sauce with salt and pepper then fold in sliced zucchini. Remove from heat and spread the zucchini evenly in the pan. Spoon over the marinara sauce and top with cheese. Bake for 25 minutes or until cheese is golden and bubbly.
