Storm Damage From Last Week

[hangin'witthepeeps]

Well some of you have seen in another post I had quite a thunderstorm last week. Here is the pictures....

A couple of cucumber vines are dying (broken) and the peppers are laid over (if they are not in a cage).

A couple of broken branches on my cherry tomato plant. This is one plant, it's huge.

Twisted tomato cage with large branch on the ground.

Swing set which used to be between two trees. The tree in the picture is where the trampoline landed. I'm standing in my driveway taking the pictures.

Broken slide

Broken trampoline

Oh brother! How depressing! That trampoline is really crumbled! Considering how windy it must have been- your garden still looks really good....Broken branches on a cherry tomato, just means you will only get one million tomatoes instead of two! Certainly glad you and your home survived intact!

That broken slide has me puzzled. The slide had to pass under the leg of the swing to be there. I just wonder how far it went up. I know the trampoline was there one second and crashing to the ground the next. The poor tree held on to it though, so the trampoline didn't blow away.

It's hard for me to imagine that much wind. Maybe you can recycle that trampoline plastic to somehow use in your garden?

Oh how I hate windy storms. Sorry to see your damage. Glad everyone is o.k. and it looks like the plants will survive.

Wow, glad your house didn't get damaged! Not much left of that trampoline. I bet it did fly... The wind tossed my chicken tractor like a frisbee this spring, because I had the tarp stretched tightly all the way across the top. The poor chickens were too scared to move from the spot!
