I'm devastated... to say the least. I know I had it coming, but you know, ... you always hope for the best. In this case, it was idle hope...
My Garden = My Stress-Free Zone
If you have bee following my blog for a while, you know gardening is one of the only things in my life that gives me peace of my mind. My personal way of meditating, if you want to call it like that.
I don't have to tell you I was devastated when all my veggies got infected by some kind of unknown disease by the end of last summer, and my gardening season ended way too soon.
Not knowing what it was that had infected ALL my plants - most pests, fungi or diseases are limited to one species only - there was no way to determine what was actually going on.
When I talked to someone from deoudenkastanje.be, a farm around the corner that specializes in unknown and forgotten vegetables, I had put up my hopes that all had been caused by the extreme drought we had experienced last summer.
No need to say that - after all I have been going through this last year - my garden was my way of escaping reality.
Promising
Everything looked so promising... less than two weeks ago, I took a series of pictures because I wanted to create a post for the 'power spot' round. The entire garden looked so healthy and promising...
I never did finish the post, and in a way, I'm glad I didn't. because instead of being my 'Power spot', it seems like my garden has become my 'Weak spot' instead.
Whereas my Kiwi Berry looked so beautiful only two weeks ago...
This is what I found today...
It looks exactly the same as what killed all my plants last year.
Figuring It Out
Of course there's a way to find out what is going on... except.... that involves laboratories, and especially a truckload of money.
So I guess there's no use in trying to grow anything this year.
Bye bye, garden. It has been fun, for as long as it lasted. I'll definitely miss you... big time!!!!
