Pretty gutted, had just started to harvest this year's crop. Just the cherry on top of an already shit day. Even managed to snap the half inch metal stake I put there when I first planted it in February 2021.

This is the second worst news I've heard today.

With you there ~~mommykink~~. This also makes me feel like the squirrels destroying my plants was hardly the worst thing to ever happen to a gardener.

Whoops. Could’ve sworn I replied to somebody else. It was a username.

I don't care how high the wind was, destroying a garden is never acceptable.

I'm so sorry. Gorgeous ripe fruits there to salvage at least. Looks like it broke so low it's probably dead but maybe try keeping it moist a few weeks, you might get sprouts from the root
