Things aren't lookin' so good in the Cantina Garden these days. She survived those first dips down to freezing just fine, but didn't handle recent forays into the 20's near so well--especially since I wasn't here to give everyone a good drink the night before, or toss frost cloth over her most tender residents. The
beautifully tall castor bean with huge star-shaped leaves is now a naked stick, and the cow's tongue is just, well, downright icky looking! I will, however, gladly give up a few succulents to mushiness, as long as the cold snap also took a slew of grasshoppers and caterpillars out with them. I am sooooo fed up with those suckers making my veggies look like Swiss cheese! Maybe now they'll have a fightin' chance. Too bad it had to zap all my variegated nasturtiums though, before they ever got a chance to bloom. They were looking so lush and full when I left for Houston last week.
Oh yeah, and to whomever those hoofprints belong to? Hope you enjoyed all my dang strawberries! I'll forgive you for eating something when you're hungry. But to pop my bok choy out of the ground, and then not eat it? Well, that's just RUDE!
SAD, SAD, SAD CANTINA!
