Garden Nightmare

Today I came home to total destruction of my gardening beds. I can't believe it, but some filthy lowly creature decided to entirely dig up my two veggie beds today. It was so devastating, that I literally had tears. I felt pathetic for crying. But I've invested a lot of time into working outside and hoping that our little garden will sprout up....See, I told you I was going to be really let down if something didn't work out!

Everything is in chaos. I spent 1+ hour hunched over when I got home at 7pm trying to find hundreds of little 1-2in plants.

Two full weeks my garden made it. :(

I think most of the transplants will survive. The cabbage and cauliflower that I put in last weekend, is looking questionable. They are all wilty and leaning over now. Good thing Dan doesn't really like either of those veggies. :)

So I did my best to find all the little plants and stick them back in the ground...but I'm really worried. It's been the longest 16 days waiting for those little baby plants to finally get green and start to grow leaves! Tomorrow is going to be a sunny day too - that's lots of growing that could've been happening. Now they are all uprooted, stressed out and hidden under the soil...

Yesterday, I planted another few sqft of seeds too so that I could have a continual harvest through the early summer. Ugh - I have absolutely no idea where those seeds are now. Hopefully they are on the top of the soil!

I saw that some of my carrots put down roots the past few days...now I'm pretty sure I won't have a carrot harvest  this year as I could not find them tonight. The next chance I'll get to plant more seeds might be thursday, so I'm really going to have to get more carrots going because they've taken a really long time to germinate. Same thing with my beets. Bummer...

Now it's too dark and too late to get up a protective barrier over my beds to prevent this from happening again. We think it was a neighbor cat. I'll be so pissed if this happens again!!! Thankfully it wasn't Lily, she's so cute it's hard to punish her! :)

Off to bed to sulk a little bit more and then time to try and stop thinking about it...
