I'm curious about the biggest headaches other gardeners are dealing with right now. Whether it's pests, wildlife, or something else entirely, what's causing you the most frustration in your gardening efforts?

Honestly, my biggest issue has been kids running through my garden. I get it, they want to play, but my plants are not a playground! Thankfully, my neighbor moved, so their dogs aren’t trampling my flowers anymore.
Wildlife is the worst! Between deer munching on my flowers and raccoons raiding my compost, it feels like a constant battle. What do you all do to keep them at bay?
I’m at war with rolly pollies this year. They came back in droves, and after last year's devastation, I'm ready to do whatever it takes to protect my plants!
Squirrels are driving me insane! They keep stealing my seeds and digging up my plants. It's like they're on a mission to ruin my garden!
For me, it's definitely rabbits! They seem to love my veggies as much as I do. I've tried everything to keep them out, but nothing seems to work.
I've started using motion-activated sprinklers, and they've really helped scare off the critters!
