Caged Heirloom

Protected age
Safety behind bars
Still gets eaten

It has become apparent that my gardening skills are lacking. Lucky for me, tomatoes will grow in even some of the worst conditions. Last season, squirrels, birds, rodents, woodlice and a variety of fungi ruined our efforts. So, I caged in the raised beds to keep out the larger offenders.

The fruit near the edges did not fare so well. (Imagine a little rat poking his nose in there for a treat)

Thank you WordPress for fixing the unbroken yet again. For changing it up and wasting my time. If an app/software feels the need to stay relevant by “fixing” all that is broken about it, you have revealed your insecurity of value in the product you have produced.
Providing AI options reveals where this is all headed. Fake. Moving stuff around to validate your job is stupid. Get it right and just stop already.
Here are some time-tested words that work: courteous, thoughtful, sensitive. Next time, every time, changes should be optional.
Sorry ’bout the rant.

    1. Yes, I stay in my lane with two raised beds. The anecdotal evidence of planting in compost is being challenged (even in pots). I have adopted some of the old practices of soil only with a little compost on top to see what happens.
      I’m also finding out that some of the crops planted will fail because of the heat extremes here on the hill. We had some good harvests in our old location for multiple differences of climate and soil amending practices.

  1. Two generations of successful agricultural entrepreneurs is ending with me. My kids aren’t even interested. Have not noticed WP’s meddling. It’s probably because I post from my phone. 😂
