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.

      If you’re ever unsure of the scale, metric tapes are divided into 10 segments per unit. American tapes are divided into 16 segments per unit.

          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).

        I was sure it was inch, but the boneheadness to assume that everyone thinks in inches while only the US does annoys me.

          What the fuck does that even mean. What assumptions did OP make? Please use direct quotes.

            Op assumed that by showing an unlabeled scale, everybody would assume that it uses outdated non-standard units.

              Yea, that’s much more plausible than them just using the measuring tape they have at home while sharing the nice fruit they grew. Fuck off, main character.
