Yup, sometimes random stuff happens when it is least convenient.

I just got my garden going at my Black Forest base. Had started some turnips I sniped from a swamp edge. Planted 15 fresh turnips when a stupid Greydwarf Shaman snuck up behind me and cast his poison. Killed all 15 starts, my whole turnip farm. =/

Luckily, I had the foresight to not put all my eggs in one basket and had started a few at my old Meadows base as well. Took some extra cycles, but I recovered.
