Salad mix was beaten into the ground. |
These beds lost a couple of weeks of production but the plants should bounce back. Two days after the storm, the growing tips were standing upright. |
This garlic should survive but the scapes were broken off. The scapes contain bulbils which some growers use to propagate garlic. |
