Menderbug

Since the last two days covered Grand Prix genres, I thought I'd pick something from the ongoing Puzzle Ramayan round for today. Amazingly, we haven't covered Tents since its first appearance back in 2022. That was one of Freddie's puzzles, which you can solve here for warmup: Archive: Monday, 3 October 2022

Rules: For each tree in the grid, place a tent in an empty orthogonally adjacent cell, connecting to it. Tents may not touch one another, not even diagonally. A clue given outside the grid represents the number of tents in the corresponding row or column.
