Goddangit!

The wind storm blew all my plants to a frazzle. It's a mess. I was so irritated when I came home yesterday and one of my poppy canes was lying down. At this rate, I'll never find out what color they'll bloom out to be. On the up side, my chard is starting to look attractive, even if it is a bit flattened at the moment.

Likewise, it's just as well that I never staked my peas, or they would probably have suffered horribly in this stormy weather. As it is, they can't get any more sprawly. I cut down all the spinach, which had begin to bolt; it went into a very good curried lentil soup.
