I just pulled up my last tomato plant. The flood just decimated my garden. I have one bell pepper plant left and one really sick looking banana pepper plant. I always count on my garden for veggies in the summer. Boohoo. My heart is broken.

May God bless those who love the soil,

Patsy

That's a real bummer Patsy. I'm sorry to hear your veggies drowned. I hope you'll be able to get some fall plantings in now.

Hi Patsy:
Next year you'll have lots of tomatoes!!!!! Sorry to hear about the flood. I know all to well what a flood can do. In 2005 our house was flooded from the waters of hurricane Rita. We had 5 feet of water in our house. Had to gut the entire house. Now it's beautiful. Next year, your tomatoes will be more beautiful than ever. Have a great happy day!

Oh no Patsy! I sure wish I could send you some tomatoes. I guess the shipping would make that prohibitive. But then, mine arnt' ripe yet so I am counting my tomatoes before they are ripe. Dang it!! I bet Marly is right..you will get extra next year!!

That is a bummer. What is Mother Nature trying to tell us?? Maybe some fall plantings. MB

That's so sad, Patsy. Maybe you could plant some in pots that you could take inside under lights for the winter. I know it means a long time waiting for tomatoes, but better late than never?!

Hi Patsy

So sorry about your veges. I can send you some sun dried tomatos in about a months time if you want.
You might want to look into the greenhouse plans that are in mary janes newest mag. It might help you extend your growing season into the fall and winter.
