What a mess!!

I was going to say “Mother nature opened a big can of whoop ass on my garden,” but Dale looked it up, and the urban dictionary says it is lame and outdated. (I don’t want to be either one.) So, I’ll describe this as “Mother nature has snapped her fingers in a Z formation.” (I heard that from Jesse, so I know it’s fresh.) I’m wondering if she was pissed at the mere notion that I would like to be the garden dictator. She sure showed me who’s boss.

Storm DamageThis is the worst of the three areas of devastation. The arbor between these two oaks signaled the beginning of the woodland garden. Dale measured a 6 feet circumference on the largest oak. According to the Internet, it’s about the same age as my 91 year old father. (He’s doing AWESOME, thanks for asking.)

The 2 big oaks knocked down 4 pines, a dogwood and another big hardwood tree. As bad as it looks I remain one of the luckiest people on the planet. Just 2 weeks ago we finished removing a LOT of trees (working to get more light into the vegetable garden.) Two of the largest would certainly have crashed into the garage.

Storm DamageNot only did I have zero structural damage to the house and garage, but even the pea plants were mostly untouched. There is one pine on either side of the raised bed. The small parsley plants in the bed to the left are already recovering from being covered by pine branches for a couple days. (One day I’m going to write an entire blog about parsley. It is one of my favorite plants.)

We lost another large oak on the far side of the vegetable garden, and it took out several pines on its way down.

 Never fear, repairs have already begun. The tree guys are going to cut the trunk into 19″ long pieces, and we are going to use them as stools in the new outdoor picnic area. I asked my fabulous husband, Dale, to add scale to the photo.

I have no idea how I’m going to handle all this displaced soil.
