    First of all you’re a badass for uploading the pics here. Thank you! 💚

    It looks like it’s going to be a diet of weed and apples for you this harvest season. Not the worst thing in the world! Your decorative plants look like they’re doing well. Lots of pretty colors and patterns.

    What’s been the main difficulty this year compared to others? I know you’ve mentioned low rainfall compared to previous years and animals “stealing” your harvest. Is the lack of rain pushing critters to your garden because their native food sources are more difficult to find maybe?

      It’s been a shit year personally so we haven’t had a lot of time to keep up with everything. That started from planning, starting seeds, maintaining etc.

      We grow plenty of stuff the creatures enjoy eating outside of the enclosed area so I don’t think it’s a lack of other food. The drought started more recently - most of the stuff got destroyed in May/June. Eta - they were eating the seedlings, tasty sprouts I guess 😭

      The trees in the lot behind us have also grown quite a bit and are shading out a big part of the garden. I think that’s why the tomatoes are doing so badly (not pictured). We’ll look into getting someone to trim the over hang and also moving some beds to a different, less shaded area.

        Well damn, sorry to hear about your struggles this season. At least all isn’t lost though. You can spend the winter smoking weed and game planning next year’s garden lololol.
