After the cyclone came through and blew my garden to pieces, I was hoping it might recover if I cared for it.
The bad news is that I have lost my peas. The stalks were all crushed and now it is just slowly dying. I was hoping that some of them might survive, but it is looking like a total loss now. We only managed to get one meal and a couple of pea pods off it before the storm, so I’m really disappointed about that.
I like peas.
My corn is struggling along. I’m not sure if it will die or not. I’ve got them staked up, but they are looking pretty bedraggled and torn. I’ll keep watering them and giving them encouragement and see what happens, but I’m pretty sure we won’t be eating any corn from the garden this year.
The rest of my plants seem to be doing ok. The rhubarb is still limp and pathetic. But it is really hard to kill rhubarb, so I’m sure it will come back.
The lettuce is fine as is the rosemary. And of course all the plants that were in posts are ok because I brought them inside during the worst of it.
the fig tree is doing ok
There is talk of another cyclone brewing just north of the country, so it may not be the end for my poor garden just yet. I do hope it stays calm here (well, calm in Wellington terms) so my plants can recover. I put a lot of effort into them this year and to see them blown away like this is frustrating.
