Order to eat things

But reading the courgette thread in particular, I can't help wondering - wouldn't it be easier just to plant fewer plants? I grow them from seed and plant enough to allow for germination failures. Then there is the risk of a slug or snail eating the heart out of the young seedlings. Finally once they are in the garden there is the danger of a late frost hitting them or cropping suddenly coming to an end due to mosaic virus appearing. Since I've effectively got unlimited space for growing vegetables I'd sooner have too many and put surplus on the compost heap than not have enough. Same with the brassicas - there are usually far more than we can eat or give away - except for this year and they have done terribly, possibly due to the lack of rain. The courgettes get hand watered to keep them going but I can't do that with everything in the veg garden. -- David in Normandy.
