Wow, I really loved this update — it felt like walking through the Laughing Dragon Garden right alongside you, fog, rain, slugs, and all! 😊
I could almost taste those cinnamon-spiced pickled beets and smell the oregano in the air. It’s inspiring to see how much care and observation you put into everything, even when pests and poor soil try to steal the show. 😇 I’m looking forward to hearing the “late start” story and seeing how your apple cider experiment turns out. And the blueberries! I hope you install enough net to protect them against the birds.
The septic system, I guess, is the suspect for the blackberries' condition. Human waste, especially if untreated, is not a good fertilizer; it could contaminate crops with harmful pathogens. I hope the blackberries recover. 💚

Thank you!
Working on putting together the whole "late start" and "clearing the swamp" story this week, and hopefully will have it out within a couple of days! It was quite a project.
The thing about septic systems is that so much more than just human waste goes in there: grease from cooking, detergent from washers and dishwashers, bleack from toilet cleaners and such. It can be a very toxic soup, even if the water looks clear and clean.
Good luck with your project! I hope to see progress in the coming days. And it's really the septic system that's affecting the poor plant. May you find the best solution to save the plants. 💜💚
