Early Friday morning we had a severe storm with 80mph winds. It all but took my once beautiful garden out. When I shot these photos, it is normally bright and sunny out by this time. The clouds were so black and thick that I had to use a flash.
our poor potted tomato plant. Fortunately, I was able to save it. It just sagged over. The stalk did not crease.

I don't know how we are going to get up the steps now. I guess I will have to call a tree trimmer.

Sorry about the garden, hope it comes back better than ever.

I don't know if it will come back better than before, but most of the stuff is popping back up. Some of it will need a little help from stakes and some string.
Watch that first step for sure!

Yeah, I don't what I am going to do. I don't have any extra money to pay some one to remove it. Lol.

It is bouncing back just fine. So am I. Thank you, Jack!
We Floridians are used to high winds and rain messing up our flowers and trees so we understand your dilemma. Good luck on your yard and garden repair.

Sorry for your bad luck, Mother Nature has not been very nice this June. We had Lake Erie all pissed at us Saturday.
My daughter said the storms were really bad around KC, she has bunches of limbs down around her property but no damage to her house. I guess this is Natures way of doing some pruning. Glad your Tomato plant was savaged...I love those home grown Maters!

Thanks, Frank. It seems to be bouncing back, but now I have mold on a lot of the plants.
