Post-collapocolypse

Out of the ruins of the lost garden of the collard greens there springs life. Out of the seemingly total extinction there remained a few, badly injured but living, specimens clinging to survival. Shocked to see this, we were ecstatic, there was hope! But the cheer was soon replaced by a grave seriousness, the few remaining Collards were in rough shape and there was no reason to believe the ravenous collard beasts wouldn't be back at their first opportunity to destroy what remained of our garden. For all that was good left in the world, we could not let that happen. The time for quick fixes was over, leaving both outer fences in tact we built a half hoop tube over their furrows stretching all the way to the ground with netting which was then further secured with staples and a layer of dirt. It has been ten days since then and the Collards have sprouted new leaves and their injuries are almost totally healed. No sign of the reclusive beast has been seen in the garden, but as we've learned all too well, it, or they, strike when they are least expected. We can only hope that trend remains. Because if (and when) they do,... we may not be so lucky the next time.
