Alas! A gusty thunderstorm blew in this afternoon and laid my proud tomatoes low! Well, not completely low, but in a compromised position, as the storm forcibly removed several large branches, with attendant fruit, and left the plants in general all mixed up and squishy. I have righted them, separated them, removed their damaged limbs, and tied their remaining ones all along my balcony in an effort to prevent further mishaps. The detritus is featured below:
Alack, ye favored sons of summer! We hardly knew ye!
Undoubtedly, this surpasses even The Curious Incident of The Thing That Ate The Sunflowers in the pantheon of garden tragedies.
