Pretty much everything has sprouted for us, as we do straight from seed. Just unusual weather spurts make it harder on new plants. Its been super hot and dry and then wet and cold and bouncing back and forth.
Do you stagger plant anything?

@Todd.grobo have you ever mixed a little lavender with your herb to smoke??

Here is my Lavender field I started 500 plants from seed 3 years ago.

Going to be making some oil soon

To bad I love lavender. Bee’s like crazy and the smell is so nice… I always wanted to build a few bee hive box’s but I’m not sure I have the time to be a beekeeper lol

We do as much as we can to attract as were the only ones within a few blocks growing. Mostly older people with flower baskets. All paid landscaping. We do our own… hence the cinderblock garden… 240 stones at 40 lb each was a lot of work. But seems to have worked well. No wasp nests yet. Protected root base.
I really tried lavender but 1 of 6. Raspberries ive lost a lot too which is odd they are weeds.

Dont really have pests unless its weather related. Too wet and bugs will come for radish and beets. Last year we had a lot of slugs so we put lots of ash and.chunks in with the regular coffee egg shell mix.

I do have to content with 5 squirrels and a dozen birds at least. I check my berries at night and pick at 6am. No joke.

I do believe you about picking berries that early. Bird attack my peaches and berries like crazy.

It’s true bees are endangered species and the world needs them desperately
