Holes in leaves aren't always failure. They can mean your garden is feeding the food web. Caterpillars, birds, fungi and insects all play a role in a living ecosystem.

🌿 Signs of life: β€’ Chewed leaves β€’ Birds hunting β€’ Flowers going to seed β€’ Fungi breaking down fallen material β€’ Insects sheltering in stems

Don’t ask, β€œDoes my garden look perfect?” Ask: β€œWho is using it?”

Yes, someone once said that you don't walk through the forest and ask "Who chewed all these leaves?!"

Gardens need not be neurosis gardens.

Or has a different definition of it as humans.
