Peppers, they hate me, between warring with the squirrels, struggling plants. 20 some years, I have gotten one pepper, the size of a quarter. I built iron maiden style cages and the effing squirrels still got them. Chives, I have entire beds full, lavendar, maybe 1 plant and he looked like he was struggling today.
Dh and I hot our first bike ride of the year. Little 10kms, kinda sore now lol.
my wife and I plant a garden every year. We plant some seeds but buy a lot of plants already started. We were outside this weekend cleaning up in the yard and talking about planting. Wondering if we will be able to get the plants from the greenhouse? Every year we compete with the wild animals for the food. Even using fencing, they still get in. My wife she takes it all with amusement saying we will just plant more for them. But they dont share! So we end up eating lots of peppers, tomatoes and very little broccoli or squash. They love squash blossoms. But you know, just writing this I'm smiling because it's all about attitude. And gardening is good quality time, productive, creative, relaxing, and fun. Have to find balance in life.
