Today's magnitude 5.9 earthquake shook the nerves and strained the quadriceps of Washington's office workers forced to take the stairs to the safety of standing under plate-glass windows. It also, apparently, did major structural damage to the Green Line Garden. Reporters in the field have indicated that a poblano pepper plant within the garden is listing precariously after the temblor, and may be in danger of collapse.
Steps are being taken, garden officials stated, to ensure the safety of nearby plants and passers-by.
Fox News, meanwhile, is reporting that the lower raised bed of Green Line Garden has collapsed entirely and an enormous crack in the earth has swallowed up the thai basil plant. These reports could be independently verified.
