Not gonna lie, it's a scary thing to put the plants in the garden for the first time after you started them as seeds months ago! 😆
Even though we have great fencing, we still have moles digging underneath. They have actually already wiped out an entire pepper variety for us. 😭 The squirrels still like to climb the fence and get in and chipmunks are small enough to weasel their way through the small holes of the fencing.
We are trying some new natural deterrents we have never tried before and hoping for the best! 🙏🏻 And thankfully it's still early enough in the season that we can keep replanting, even if it means waiting longer for the harvest.
We have worked so hard on this garden to get it to this point for the last three years and we just have the raspberries and strawberries left! We started with the raspberries, putting them on cattle panels and it's already looking so much better and will help the plants thrive even more! 
I joke a lot that nothing we do around here is done quickly 😆 but I do appreciate our intentionality and that it does eventually all come together! 🩷
