I was very proud of myself for getting into the garden early this year. I cleaned everything up and got my early seeds in (peas, spinach, beets and lettuces) and started harvesting asparagus! I had a chard that wintered over just fine, and all my herbs were flowing out of the boxes. A very successful start to the year of gardening!

Then we had storms roll through here Monday! A huge tree near the garden broke off its top (at least 12 inches in diameter) and threw it at the garden! (I know it was intentional!) It smashed the heck out of the electric fence and the trellis where the peas are coming up so nicely, and damaged one of the boxes. It mashed the chard and some of the herbs. In general, the garden is covered in twigs and branches.

Grrr. I will be playing pick up sticks for a while.
