A Pleasant Discovery
While walking through the garden, I noticed patches of growth that had gone untouched by the lawn maintenance crew. Initially, I thought they were just weeds or remnants of plants that had long since given up. Upon closer inspection, I realized they were survivors of my previous gardening efforts—plants that the iguanas apparently didn’t find appetizing.
These hardy plants had quietly endured the elements, evaded the iguana attacks, and continued to thrive. Seeing them sparked a sense of accomplishment and encouragement I hadn’t felt in a while. Not only had they survived, but they also looked healthy enough for us to harvest. I’m planning to use them in an upcoming meal, which makes this discovery even sweeter.
Lessons and Plans for the New Year
This unexpected discovery has renewed my motivation to give gardening another try. I’ve spent time gathering knowledge and strategies to combat the iguanas, and this year, I’m determined to put them into action. Here are a few things I plan to do differently:
Early Preparation: By starting earlier in the year, I can avoid the scorching summer heat, which makes both gardening and maintaining plants more difficult.
Iguana-Proofing: I’ve researched various methods to protect my garden, from physical barriers to planting more species that iguanas dislike.
Crop Selection: I’ll take note of the plants that survived this time and incorporate more of them into my garden to reduce the chances of losing an entire crop.
Weekend Chores: With a bit of planning, I think tending to the garden can become a fulfilling weekend activity rather than a daunting task.
Renewed Enthusiasm
There’s something deeply satisfying about growing your own food. Even if it’s just a few plants, the process of nurturing them and eventually enjoying them at the dinner table brings a sense of connection to nature that’s hard to replicate.
This little surprise in my garden reminded me that resilience exists in even the smallest corners of life. It’s a lesson I’ll carry forward as I tackle new gardening challenges this year. Here’s to a fresh start, a greener thumb, and hopefully, a bountiful harvest!
