#gardenstruggles

There is a phrase amongst sustainable gardeners that basically that says if something isn’t eating your garden then your garden isn’t part of the ecosystem. I struggle to find the balance between growing food in harmony with nature and trying to keep nature contained so that I can actually eat the food that I try so hard to grow. Found this little guy on my basil. Transported him to the front yard away from my garden. However he has a lot of friends and family enjoying everything from my rhubarb to my tomatoes and peppers. Not gonna be able to be so nice to all of them. #gardenpests #gardenstruggles #organicgardeningishard https://www.instagram.com/p/CgDAeLOuhEu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This may be the only decent picture I get of my #sunflowers 🌻since the squirrels aren’t even letting them fully bloom before they eat them. 😩 #gardenstruggles #flowers #garden #gardening
