My neighbors are at it again...ever so often they destroy my plants. This time the attack was on the fruiting grape vine which could have been very easily redirected to my property. You can't change haters so you tend your plants and enjoy what you can.

It has been difficult to remain consistent in my garden this year. Main challenges were mental health, physical health and severe weather conditions including flash floods, unreasonably hot temperatures and a myriad of not before seen bugs and insects in my garden. Also there has been a huge influx of mosquitoes and odd flies that fly around in circles in the air hence you must be careful when breathing. I am not a fan of insecticide or chemical sprays because I eat from my garden. Recommendations on bugs, pests and Mosquitoes control methods are welcomed. Here goes the plants that literally survived on their own during my period of grieving the loss of my son and could not garden. He would want me to continue so I am trying.
