Zucchini can be dark or light green. A related hybrid, the golden zucchini, is a deep yellow or orange color. In a culinary context, zucchini is treated as a vegetable; it is usually cooked and presented as a savory dish or accompaniment. Botanically, zucchinis are fruits, a type of botanical berry called a pepo, being the swollen ovary of the zucchini flower. Zucchini, like all squash, has its ancestry in the Americas.
Worms lay eggs in the soil. Most earthworms are not native in a lot of places in North America, especially the northern latitudes and coniferous forests. Virginia should have lots of worms. The nightcrawlers and the red worms that are the most common in gardens are both European species.
If a large number of eggs have been ingested, or if the worms move from the small intestine to other parts of the body, they can cause serious complications, such as a bowel obstruction. However, in England, these types of complications are rare. Read more about the symptoms of a roundworm infection.
