After a few days of on and off again wind today we have a high wind warning with gusts up to 60 mph.<br><br>
My poor tomato plants are just blowing about. My pear tomato snapped in two places, one at the base and one at the top, a few days ago. Since there were still some nice looking branches and leaves I dug it up, wrapped duct tape around the break at the bottom and planted in a pot in the house. Who knows, perhaps it will live. It definitely would be dead if it were still outside.<br><br>
Fortunately DH helped me re-stake the rest of the tomatoes, put up the tomato cages and wrap plastic around the cages. He also cut the bottom out of a few pots to try and save my cucumbers but I'm afraid one is lost - the one I was looking forward to the most (lemon cucumber).<br><br>
My other garden is a little shielded but the plants are still blowing about. I staked the pepper plants but could have used a ton of cloches or some type of protection for my young broccoli, cabbage and squash. Fingers crossed for some better weather sans wind.<br><br>
Anyone else encountering crazy weather?
