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.

Inches are subdivided in fractions instead of decimals. 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 (sometimes you’ll see 1/32 but anything past that typically switches over to decimal since you’re not going to be doing mental math with that size anyways).
