A fellow market gardener from my area just left my house with every last tomato and pepper plant I had.  They didn't look the best, but they should have been planted a month ago.    I told him make it right with me when he has the money and if he gets a crop.

He lost everything he had planted. 700 tomatoes, 300 sweet potatoes, chard, beets, onions, squash, corn, cucumbers, broccoli, carrot.  The hail flattened it all, then the rain flooded it all.  Some may come back, but much will not.

I am feeling very lucky today.

This whole year has been a challenge around here with mother nature, it started with a really nasty winter with ice and heavy snows and moved to severe storms all spring with  very high winds coupled with extremely heavy rains, been a really fun year so far.  More storms moving through as I'm writing this.  So far this year we have had to replace two roof's, one greenhouse and our house.
