Boo.  That's a bummer.   Any of those shoots below the damage so they could take off?

Darn slugs!  Sorry for you loss, I hope it can re-cooperate.

I was just getting ready to go to the community garden, and all of a sudden a thundershower came out of nowhere! I think I'll wait a bit and see what the weather decides to do!

We had a nice little thundershower here this evening as well.  It was a perfect rain, and we need it, so I'm not even a little mad I have to do laundry instead of play in my garden tonight :)

Boy, we sure have been getting alot of quick thunderstorms/showers.  We are suppose to get a big one tonight, but I am hoping not.   We got access to a field of hay, and we are trying to get a bunch put away before it rains...
