I’d like to say I am a gardener, but I made a resolution in January to tell the truth!
The closest I’ve come in the 27 years I’ve lived in this cottage was digging up the weeds and planting grass... that raccoons immediately dug in their search for grub worms. I did battle for two years before finally surrendering...
You can't eat grass! You ought to get a planter and at least grow a few tomatoes.
Says the man who grows EVERYTHING...
Tomatoes would likely do quite well adjacent to my cottage because there is a great deal of sun in the summer. My problem as a gardener is that I forget to water things and they die...
Add to that the fact we have deer who ramble around the neighborhood eating whatever is available. After trying to keep raccoons at bay I don't think I want to begin battling deer. I was standing in the driveway a few weeks ago and a deer jumped the picket fence in front of this property INTO the front yard before dashing out the driveway. Serious gardeners erect eight foot high fences hoping to keep them at bay... not for me.
