A green bean advisory has been issued for the lower mainland. To help mitigate the risks of vegetable abundance, residents are advised to pick all beans and zucchinis as early and as small as possible and to consume immediately. Residents are advised to consult online resources for innovative ways to deal with vegetables including freezing, sautéing, baking, boiling and blanching. Raw consumption is discouraged except for those with particularly robust digestive systems.

With the hot dry weather, the risk of a mild kalenado persists. However, the threat of zucchinocalypse has passed. Authorities would like to thank all those who helped to relocate all oversized zucchinis.

The next vegetable advisory announcement is expected later this week.
