Best of luck. Since you said that you are open to folks offering advice: The soil looks to be desperately lacking in organic matter and to have no humus...maybe you could compost and start spreading that around. You could put a nice bit of compost down and then maybe a handful or two of sand and some gravel on top of that and then larger stones on top of that...And THEN lots of succulents in there like between the stones basically...And ach...I love the kitties so so so much...so I know how they can be in the garden and with the potted plants as well...Citrus peels can be helpful in deterring them from the soil of potted plants and around your outdoor plants as well, because they do not like the smell. I'm a little bit of a lunatic when it comes to plants/gardening/soil microbiota/permaculture...so if you ever want to pick my brain, please do. Give me a specific problem you want to confront and I can make a post all for you. hahahaha

Oh wow! There is so much that I still need to learn. I basically just stuck the plants in the soil and hoped for the best 🫣 I would very much like to learn all about composting and everything else! Thank you so much for offering help and advice. I am willing to try anything after last season's awful harvest. Sharing skills and discussing is also the best part of gardening, so feel free to tell me what I am doing wrong!
I think so too.. That sharing and discussing is the best. <3
