I don't think 61 subscribers is woefully low! Just wanted to pop that in here 🥳 what's low to one person, is aspirational to another - not saying i don't get caught up in it sometimes too, but nice to be reminded sometimes 🥰

Thank you Lucy and I totally get that. When I was at 10 I thought 61 was mind blowing - always striving for something just out of reach. Might practice this mindfulness thing 😉

'Note to self, 2 people do not need 3 courgette plants.' - Lol, I learned that lesson the hard way myself. The same goes for cucumber plants, just FYI! That trip sounds absolute bliss ❤

Oh wow that is... a lot of cucumbers!! I have a great pickle recipe if you like. Unless the intention was always to go on a cucumber-only diet for 6 weeks 😂

The first year we grew cucumbers we didn't realise that with some varieties the male flowers have to be removed to avoid bitter cucumbers. Disappointing crop to say the least 🙄🤣

😂😂 I’d love it please - the last one I did wasn’t any good and I can no longer find the one I did like from 3 years ago in my browsing history!!

Oh I didn’t know that about the male flowers. Ours aren’t bitter though thankfully
