August 1st 2014 Me and Tomato Garden No.2

Aug. 1st 2014 This is the last photo taken of Tomato Garden No. 2 before the thunderstorms of Aug. 20th that destroyed my gardens and MANY others in our area. The ONLY tomato plants to make it through the storm were my Better Boys in Garden No. 1., and even they were severely damaged. Before the storm they were 12 1/2 FEET tall. After the storm, they were 8 FEET tall. It is making it very difficult to pick tomatoes from them squashed down like that, but it is too difficult and dangerous to try to prop them back up, so we are doing the best we can with what is left in the garden. When all the green tomatoes in Garden No. 2 ripen, we will pull all the plants and get ready to replant with our Fall crops of Red and Green Romaine lettuce, Spinach, and Broccoli.
