Epic post. Winter is here in the northern hemisphere so nothing to do but plan for next year...and clear snow haha. Understanding pests and dealing with them is a necessary part of gardening. No fun but part of the fight. We have frogs and snails but they are long gone until it warms back up. The flowers in hanging basket were one of the best things we did in our garden last year. Just makes it more inviting and a more pleasant space when you are doing one of the unpleasant tasks 🙂
