It’s only been a few weeks and we already have a plant down.
After a couple days of rain I finally went outside to check on my hanging garden. Unfortunately I found this:
That’s pretty disappointing to see!
That pot held the spring onions and a single spinach plant. Now they are destroyed along with the pot.
I’m not sure what happened but I did see a guilty looking JuJu hanging around.
Considering she ate my first 5 kale plants and one broccoli plant she seems very suspicious. We thought they were secure enough and high enough that she couldn’t reach them and maybe she didn’t. Maybe it just fell on it’s own? I guess we will never know.
Luckily the rest of my plants are growing well. All the kale and spinach and lettuce is growing well. So far the kale is the only vegetable we have used in a meal but I have high hope for the rest!
The cilantro is especially promising. This stuff is growing like crazy and tastes so nice.
Other than losing yet another plant I have high hopes for the rest of this garden. It’s a nice trial run for future gardens I want to plant whenever we get our own home one day. I’m definitely learning a lot about what not to do during this process if nothing else. I’ve heard those kinds of lessons come in handy and experience matters in these kinds of things.
Wish me luck for no more garden mishaps!
