Hurricane Portia


The Aftermath

Portia…

AKA “Spawn of Satan”

In about 2 minutes, she managed to destroy about a dozen green tomatoes and tomato blossoms.  She also has a taste for my fig leaves.  (my new baby Kadota’s fig leaves).  I’m willing to sacrifice a few tomatoes.  But, if she kills one of my new fig trees.  She’s going to be in the doghouse.  (Well, after we buy a doghouse.)  Between Portia and the other wild life critters, it really is a challenge to keep everything alive.

But, we did manage a mini harvest:

8 cherry tomatoes
a handful of blackberries
4 baby radishes
1 baby carrot
one bouquet of oregano
several sprigs of silver thyme

Oh, well.  There’s no crying over spilt milk… or crushed tomatoes.
