Both pots were started at the same time from the same batch of strawberry starts. They should have the same soil box. Both grew vigorously last spring/summer and got visited by deer in the fall.

Am curious if Solarpunk music is a thing or not yet? If it is please do share some links to tracks to check out, am very cruious.
