So we got permission from the land overlords to roto-till up our lawn – what amounted to approx 1/3 of our green space. All for a lovely garden. We planted seeds back in February and happily watched them sprout and grow on our warm kitchen window sill. The weather was nice and sunny on April 27th and we decided it was time for our little seedlings to broaden their roots in the big real world. So we headed outside and got our hands a bit muddy. We were such proud parents. Then the unpredictable NW weather proceeded to sabotage our plans of veggie glory. Curse you Matt Zaffino! It hailed and hailed and hailed. Boo. Our plants DIED! Well, not all of them. Just the zucchini, beefsteak tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, orange peppers, and eggplants. The red onions and carrots were apparently skinny enough leaf-wise to dodge the haily darts. We have replanted. We are resilient. We will rebuild.
