I think it’s ok to grow more than you need as long as you’ve thought about what to do with the excess, for the rainy day.
Clamping, drying, freezing, pickles, jams, ferments are some of my options. Having enough jars, tubs, freezer and shelf space, And cardboard boxes for when the gluts arrive though takes a lot of planning time and effort, and Mother Nature is very unpredictable with what gluts she gives you.
Giving it away to be honest is the easy option and I do a fair bit of that, being prepared is a lot harder.

A pocket knife is not a weapon in the right hands it’s an essential garden tool.
