I fell asleep before the last two facts listed, so looking forward to that! It’s a mystery Anna is the only one who knows that zucchini/courgette plants produce a ridiculous amount of veggies. (Though I tried planting a zucchini here in Japan and must have done something terribly wrong because instead of the usual bounty it produced nothing!)
