Hers is over 6ft long! And really skinny. (*snicker* the quotes have that middle school humor... )
Not only is that one big zucchini, that is one HUGE zucchini vine. It looks like it's growing on a trellis overhead.
Now that's an idea. Mine were just in raised beds and started taking over the walkway. Although, I'm not sure where to put a trellis like that in my backyard.
She says in the article they usually don't get more than 4ft... does she normally grow 4ft tall zucchini??
Found via YesButNoButYes. Daily News Article here.
It's shaping up to be a busy one here this week. Which is great. I still have 6 VERY productive zucchini plants. Last night it was grilled zucchini (YUM!™) and more chocolate zucchini muffins - these were the best batch yet. Tonight, it's stuffed zucchini and fried zucchini.
Unfortunately for us, the birds get the tomatoes before we do. I've decided it's the fat cardinal. He takes my tomatoes AND wakes me up at 5:00am.
I also found another video by the same group/guy that did the wall animation. They've got several on Vimeo if you want to check them out.

BluBlue.org. Also, their blog shows stills of how they do it.
Also, Joker has a series of great haikus - some of which make liquids go up my nose. :)
I stayed up too late last night. Baking took A LOT longer than I thought. And that second largest zucchini, made 3 batches of zucchini bread. I ran out of time (and sugar) before I ran out of zucchini. Looks like I'll be making more tonight.
I had one of my zucchini muffins this morning for breakfast, it was delicious. I also made chocolate zucchini bread, which according to the crumbs I tasted is fantastic.
I'm also going to try my hand at some zucchini & spinach soup. And maybe some zucchini fritters. And I've got to pick more tonight. Perhaps 5 zucchini plants was too much to plant this year.
Also, there was a copperhead in the middle of the street. DOWNTOWN. The car in front of me ran over him, but just barely though and "he" kinda flew up in the air and some gook came out of him. Then I watched him in my side view mirror as I sat at the red light. Needless to say, I was a little freaked out walking the several blocks from my parking lot to my building.
I kinda forgot to check the zucchini this week. Therefore, I have one over 2 feet long. Oops.
This would be the very first product of this year's garden. The zucchini plants are doing much better this year. That's the first (taken and picked July 3) there have been 2 more since then and there are two which are almost ready to be picked. The peppers are doing much better this year and but the tomatoes are slow...
