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.

    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

      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.
