> Second, many of the crops have
tattered leaves, and many are bent over (like broccoli, cabbage, etc.).
What do I need to do for these plants to keep them healthy, and lose as little
production as possible?
Hey Curtis, I always dreaded hurricane season cuz of this. I learned to strip off damaged parts, upright/prop up & stake larger crops (like okra), but to leave the small stuff alone. The wind stress encourages new, spring-like growth which will stretch towards the sun. I learned also that the stressed plants attracted more insects so I had to start treating immediately. Liz Pike
