Gardening is part science, part art and sometimes a little chaos. I’ve had turmeric spreading in the food forest, chilies that turned out hotter than expected, and herbs that decided to take over. What’s been your funniest or most unexpected garden moment this season 🌞

Every post here, big or small, inspires someone else to try something new. Whether it’s a single seedling or a whole food forest, it all adds to the energy of this hub. I’d love to hear what you’re planting right now let’s celebrate the wins, the experiments, and even the garden surprises together.

Just an update on my lettuce. Initially the grasshoppers came and ate half the crop but after transplanting a few more there was complete success. I keep a net over the top of the lettuce all day to slow the plants going to seed. How is your lettuce coping in this heat?

Gardens have a way of surprising us sometimes with blooms we didn’t expect, sometimes with plants that pop up long after we thought they were gone. I’ve had moments where a plant I gave up on suddenly reappeared, stronger than ever. What’s the most unexpected surprise your garden has given you? A plant revival, a wildlife encounter, or maybe a volunteer seedling that made your day? Let’s share those stories and celebrate the magic of gardening together..
