I tried planting edible landscaping this year, but it's been working pretty poorly. I think I need figure out a better way to communicate the expectations with pedestrians.

So far 2 Cantaloupes have been taken well before ripening, an unripe green pumpkin was taken, an unripe bell pepper was taken, and they aren't touching the ripe tomatos or strawberries. So I'm very confused.

Maybe I'm expecting them to have too high of a base knowledge of garden plants? I may just move the garden inside the fence and build a small pantry instead.

If you are using odd units of measurements instead of international standards...

The measuring tape is labeled, and it's not like I own a metric one.

Also I'm pretty sure I added alt text describing it in inches, but I can't seem to pull it up.
