    It is true. I planted zucchinis this year. I’ve gotten at least a dozen of them and they’re massive. There’s still at least a dozen coming and they make for the best soup ever. You can make a whole pan of soup (10L) with one big or two small zuchini. Meanwhile I’ve got 5 small tomatoes

      My zucchini has been amazing! First time growing it and just a single plant but I’ve probably gotten like 8 large bois from it. Tomatoes seem suuuuper late, tons of berries but not even a hint of ripening.

      Idk, I’ve mostly been quite successful with tomatoes. This year not so much, but then again, I planted the pumpkins too close, they gobbled up all the nutrients

        Pumpkins are a bitch. Zuchini takes up a lot of space, but they also give a lot of zuchini. Pumpkins are the king of spacetaking and they don’t even give much in return.

          Fucker straight up made its way across my small greenhouse and out the door, so yeah, king of spacetaking.

      I learned you harvest zucchini before they get massive as the taste is inversely related to the size though
