Hello,
It’s sad to have to write this email and I’ve been avoiding it all week, but I figured I needed to verbalize it before the season ends just in case anyone else has noticed anything.
It’s been a bit warm this week. We’ve been watering whenever possible, so we’ve definitely seen some of the plots booming over the last two weeks!
On last Friday (8/15) we were out late at the garden, past sundown, watering and admiring the upcoming fruits of labor. When we came back the next day, Saturday, unfortunately it seems someone harvested some of the largest peppers before they were actually ripe. There are no signs of animals on the plants surrounding and the stems were pinched and plucked, rather than chewed off.
I’m not blaming anyone in this thread, but it did make me lose a little bit of trust in the community we started to build here.
Keep your eyes out for upcoming harvests and I hope all your veggies are the most delicious you’ll have all year!
Sincerely,
Michael
