So, in the last two weeks we have had plenty of harvest - tomatoes, okra, squash, cucumber, and hot peppers. And we also lost crops to insects, rot, and children.
Our last garden we kept locked behind a 6ft fence and never had crop loss from humans. Our new garden is not locked, and not completely fenced, and the crop loss is getting annoying. I don't mind the pick and eat crowd so much, but the little gremlins that are picking and smashing is something else. A talk with the kids and a parent has not had the effect I hoped for. We'll see what happens as school starts up again, though these kids don't currently attend our school.
Ah, what to do!?
School starts Monday. Hope to get some new crops started this coming week. We had a volunteer day at school last week-end and spinach that had gone to seed that we were storing was accidentally thrown out. But lots of seed escaped and is now sprouting in our play areas!!! I'm too excited to see where the goes!
