This, this is what I’m chasing.

What are you growing this year?!

Crooked rows.
Weeds in the beds.
Bugs nibbling your leaves.

And still—you can grow food.

A “messy” garden isn’t failure. It’s a living system finding its balance.
Some weeds protect the soil. Some insects help more than they harm.

You don’t need perfection to grow something meaningful.
You need observation. Patience. A willingness to learn as you go.

Seeds won’t all sprout. Plants won’t all thrive.
Weather, soil, timing—it all plays a role.

But every setback teaches you something useful.
What to plant earlier. Where the sun really hits. When to step in—and when to let nature handle it.

That’s how real gardeners are made.

What’s your best advice for beginner gardeners?

Mine: expect a little chaos—and treat every failure as a lesson.

We have run out of cage space and are parting with 2 of our proven does.

• NZ/CA cross, 3 yrs — consistently around 9 kits
• Broken NZ, 1 yr — raised 8 in her first litter

Both have been solid, attentive moms. Only letting them go to free up some cage space here. Feel free to reach out if you want more details.
