RE: August in a Big House with a Tiny Garden in Upstate New York State, USA

I can see why you love this playground, those raised wooden beds are so nice. No need to go down on hands and knees or having to bend! Speaking for myself, I get full of aches and pains; knees, lower back, shoulders, hips...ummm every joint in my body aches after planting;)
What a feast your garden produces!
I would love to grow my vegetables, but the pesky monkeys even pull out root crops! I only have herbs, but must plant some spinach and lettuce, they're not interested in those.
Happy gardening @owasco <3

Oh I have it so good here, regarding pests. My friends' gardens are ruined by deer, and bears, and raccoons and skunks and rabbits and ground hogs. I have none of those to contend with. Squirrels, yes, and lovely birds. A few snails and slugs, but lots of toad to eat those. There are advantages to living in town, with a good fence. I'm having an excellent year in my garden. How did I ever live without one? Monkeys! Unimaginable here in New York.
