< The Torment of Unplanted Seeds
Perfect is the enemy of good. I grow cucumbers, tomatoes and potatoes. And while I don't have to deal with deer, there are tons of birds and rabbits around here. I tried regular tomatoes one year, but the birds pecked at them - I solved this by planting cherry tomatoes, and assuming the birds would get some. The cucumbers often have mold on the leaves once they mature. But this doesn't stop them from growing a terrifying amount of cucumbers, more than I can eat.
Do something, see what works, see what doesn't, make some notes for next year!
