OUR FIRST SHORT JUST HIT 1,500 VIEWS (IN UNDER 15 HOURS)

Okay, we're still kind of vibrating about this one: our very first YouTube Short crossed 1,500 views in under 15 hours. No ad spend, no push, no existing audience — just a cucumber and a phone camera.

The moment it hit 1,000

Somewhere in the middle of that stretch, a notification popped up that stopped us in our tracks.

We've made plenty of things nobody watched. Having the very first video we ever posted take off like this, organically, is exactly the kind of validation that makes documenting this whole seed-to-jar thing feel worth it.

Your turn: guess the weight

Since you're here — take your best shot at the actual weight of that cucumber. Drop your guess in grams or pounds, whatever you're comfortable with, in the comments on the Short or over on TikTok. Closest guess gets a shoutout.

This is only the second cucumber we've ever grown, for what it's worth. You can read the full harvest story here if you want the rest of it.

More harvests, more videos, more oversized cucumbers coming soon.
