Garden After Flooding Update

I took some pics today of what I saved out of our flooded garden. It kind of sucked having to till up some areas that were doing good before flood but I think we could still have a good garden season.

First, strawberries that I picked today. Those are gallon size bags.

Onions, need to re-mulch, but are doing ok

Tomatoes, some survived and I just planted about twenty more plants that I had been growing to sell. The open areas are where I retilled over old tomato plants and planted carrots and radishes.

All pepper plants ended up being dead but I replanted 24 plants today that again, I was hoping to sell.

Very glad to see so much of your garden was saved or able to be replaced in time! What a difference from those photos you posted before. Good Luck!

That's such a big change from the last photos!
When is your average first frost? Hopefully you have a decent growing season ahead of you yet.

The strawberries are huge and beautiful. Hope all the danged slugs drowned!
