Mid-August Garden Tour - my first-year garden could use some advice!

Come along on a later summer walk through our raised bed vegetable garden and food forest. This is our first year growing in this soil and these beds, so things don't look quite as great as they could (or as I know they will next year). We need more time to amend and let the soil build! Some of the plants are struggling with nutrient deficiency, probably a lack of water, too much heat and not enough sun. It's all a learning curve.🥴 But if you have any advice or suggests to help set our beds up better for next year, I am all ears!🌽🌱
