Since we’re not always on-site, we knew that the garden plot was going to be a hit or miss. The (mostly) pine mulch from the forestry mulching creates a bit of a challenging environment for garden plants. Even though it was tilled several times before planting, it still poses a challenge. And the deer, along with other assorted critters, have taken advantage of the easy food source. But they haven’t gotten everything. And yes, I know there are weeds growing along with what we planted, like I said, we’re not there all the time.
