  1. Meanwhile, Felix and I have entered the name brainstorming phase. One strong contender: Gurkie—inspired by "augurk" (Dutch for pickle). 🥒

    Felix says he needs to sleep on it (it was my idea, and he doesn't want to be influenced). Naming a plant is serious business, after all.

  2. From my newfound research, here's why cucumbers love having something to climb:

    - Stability: Gives them something to lean on.
    - Training: They learn to grow upward rather than sprawling everywhere.
    - Health: Reduces risk of rot and diseases from soil contact.

    Fingers crossed the little cucumber appreciates my efforts! 🤞🥒
