True Story.

A large(r) tree branch was ripped off my silver maple in the backyard and fell into the garden last night. It broke my sunflowers, about half the tomato plants and knocked over the bean tripods. I'm still cutting it away. No major damage to the fencing or anything else ( Read more... )
