POV: How It Feels As A Gardener Being Told to Leave Your Food for the Bugs

This is what it feels like when people tell us gardeners to give our food, that we’ve worked for months to grow, to the bugs and pollinators.

In my previous cabbage video I did not ask anyone to harm the pollinators… I only gave tips on how to cover cabbage plants to protect from cabbage worms in the garden. It got some interesting responses.

To be fair… I absolutely support and do everything I can for the pollinators. But asking a gardener to leave their homegrown food, after spending all their time and money, to feed the bugs isn’t realistic and kinda absurd.

Humans before bugs. When you give up meat to save the planet, then we can talk… Proud veggie/pescatarian.
