Garden looks like after a big party. Stepping on confetti of frozen and soft cherry tomatoes, red, yellow, rotten green; wrapping paper of dry corn stalks rustling in the wind, smashed pumpkins played their last song; spicy peppers got wrinkles from not made salsa; and nobody got hurt, beside a few potatoes stabbed with a fork.
It is quiet; and wet, like thousands drinks would had been spilled, mud is everywhere, like brought by thousands of people.
And now everybody is gone. It’s time to clean up.

Sometimes the day after the party is better than the party itself, back in college we would clean up, friends would stop by, maybe a lazy afternoon on the couch watching a game and always plenty of beers left behind. Good analogy with the post-freeze garden, that can be a lot of fun too. And the garden is better kind of mess, not the kind you need to be afraid of getting some awful infectious disease from!
