The Zesty Zucchini: A Cozy Mystery of Garden Gluts and Greedy Gardeners: Some vegetables grow out of control... and so do some gardeners

🥒 Organic farmer Zoe Greenleaf is proud of her prize-winning zucchini, but when the chairman of the local garden show is found buried under a mountain of oversized zucchinis with one of her gardening tools as the murder weapon, her perfect harvest turns perilous. The police see an accidental collapse, but Zoe notices the carefully arranged vegetables form a pattern only a competitive gardener would understand. With her farm's reputation and organic certification on the line, Zoe digs into the cutthroat world of competitive vegetable growing. Teaming up with her quirky farmhands and a handsome agricultural extension agent, she uncovers a plot involving stolen heirloom seeds, sabotaged compost, and illegal pesticide use. From mysterious crop circles to poisoned soil samples, every garden bed holds a clue. But as Zoe weeds out the suspects, she realizes the killer is still planting deadly seeds—and her farm might be the next target for a fatal harvest.
