Whew! Last night we had quite the storms. We had high winds, torrential rain, and tornado warnings!!!!! After the storm cleared, I drove around and decided to check on the garden. As I approached, my heart sank a little. The wind had bent many things on their side. I thought the smaller stuff should be ok, but my biggest
concerns were the tomatoes and corn. The tomatoes were so heavy the prior to today, they were leaning to the north. When I arrived, they were leaning to the south. I would say almost a 180 degree difference! The next thing I saw was the corn. They were laying to the south with no greater than a 45 degree between stalk and ground. I attempted to stand them up, but they just kept leaning back over. I was somewhat successful, but we had more storms later that evening.

I am hoping that mother nature will work her wonders and the corn will straighten up, but I will be preparing for the worst and will begin prepping the children for the loss on Friday.
Wish me luck!
