    I had just started to garden back then and I didn't really know what I was doing. I started the plants in grow bags as my garden soil is not really good.
    I had a couple of bags of garden soil on hand and I started to grow in grow bags.

    My garden soil is partly to be blamed. I have sand and clay soil. My soil is work in progress.
    But with this jasmine plant, I have added all types of fertilizer and adequate potting mix.
    This jasmine was in a previous location and it wasn't doing well there either. I removed it and started it in a new location about a year ago. Now the previous Jasmine spot has hibiscus and it growing lush( haven't tended to the soil after the jasmine was taken).
    Maybe I will try to redo the whole soil and start new fertilizer.

    Usual suspects for vegetable munchers include squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, deer and groundhogs in my area. Birds also like to sometimes peck at tomatoes. I
    have read that squirrels will nibble on juicy vegetables if they are thirsty and providing a water source may help.

    :hello:Government of India has a separate R&D for Dry-land Agriculture in which the Israel scientists are often consulted collaborated . They have developed technology to develop horticulture and basic agriculture in areas declared as dry lands known for scarcity of water and non conducive humidity. Just forinfo. Insight can be drawn from googling for Israel gardens & agriculture.

    Thanks and Regards.

    I don't know what happened when I posted the pics!!

    Pic 1- Tomatoes from garden picked green ones that are closer to the wall. Didn't want them bruised.
    Pic-2 My beets harvest. The harvest was ok- not as much as I expected. There were many which didn't completely grow coz of the soil.
    Pic-3 The little place getting ready for the start fruit plant. Added leaves, fertilizer, and soil and water it every day.

    @MalStrom- I can definitely rule out deers in my area. But I don't even know how to resue my zucchini's.
    Also, my bean saplings are getting eaten by slug I guess. :(

    Hi @blindpup10

    I got Amarnath seeds from "seedsofindia" website, they are reliable and Moringa seeds from amazon. Sure will share pics once they grow little older, everything is sprouting and sudden rain flatten some sigh!!

    I bought my climbing rose and other bush roses from Jenkins & Perkins, they all bloom busy with little care :D
