Here are pictures of my garden, before and after the storm that hit Tuesday night in Norman, Oklahoma. It's so sad. I don't know whether to go ahead and try to replant or just clear the land for next year.

Oh No!! I am so sorry :( (((HUGS)))

oh my goodness! will they still produce??? well I guess not since the yellow blossoms are gone. so sorry. my hubby is the gardener here.

That is sad -

I'm not sure how much different the seasons are where you are located from southern MN -

I think there would be time for some of these to mature if you replanted (from seeds) now:

cucumbers
zucchini
green beans
beets
carrots - they are quite frost resistant
radishes

although some of these are less than thrilled about being in really hot weather (radishes)

early varieties of cantaloupe



are there any tomato plants left at any of the greenhouses?

too sad!

:(

Don't give up, looks to me like some of those will come back.
If it were my garden, I'd let what is there stay, plant some smaller stuff in between them, and even some small types of corn. I LIKE corn!!

I think you have time to get crops in if you hunt for short season ones.

Good luck, and it's good that you are still safe.

how awful!

so sorry about your garden. try some short season plants. I think some of those in the pic might come back since it didn't all get taken down. Glad you are safe tho.

Ditto here.
Weather is really doing a number on a lot of people. At least you are ok. All the best.

Thats trrrible! If you can get more plants you could still have a fall garden.

Very sad indeed, i know how much work goes into having a garden :(

oh wow! that is just aweful! If you think there is enough time, I would definately replant
your garden was beautiful

How devastating, I know how much hard work went into your garden, I'm not sure about replanting.

Oh my gosh!!! That's horrible, soooo sorry! I wouldn't give up, them them a couple of weeks and see what happens. Long growing season ahead yet.

HUGS

I never imagined the after photos to be so bad. I am so sorry. We also have a garden. I think I would replant and keep my fingers crossed. Good luck!

{{hugs}} That's a horrible thing to do.

Maybe you can see if there's something you can plant in that space.

I'm sorry!! I hope some of them come back for you!!!!

OMGoodness!That is terrible. I think you could definitely replant around what survived.You might give it a week to see if any of it bounces back.

Give it a shot. My mother used to say "It never hurts to try".

So Sorry !! My son & his family live right off rock creek in Norman and the same happened to DIL garden she worked so hard on. Also neighbors tree fell on their houset too, I think insurance is going to put a new roof on it. My son took some pics until he thought it was turning into a tornado, then he shut the door. Good think it wasn't any worse.

I am so sorry,you all got the worst of the storm. Was that from the hail or the wind??
We had the wind here,no hail though.It did some damage in Elgin but we were lucky this time.

Oh thats such a shame, so sorry. Glad you are O.K. though.

Aw, so sad! I feel for you. I remember one August the neighbor's fence busted and their cows ate up all our rows and rows of corn.

I'd say you still might have some time to get some things back in the ground.

So sorry to see that!!! It has been so cold here that mine aren't really growing...but at least it isn't as awfyl as your storm damage...(((HUGS)))

So sorry this happened to you. We didn't plant this year, or I would try to share some plants with you. Just easier now a days to go to the farmers market here in town.

Oh that IS sad. I am so sorry. :(

I'm sorry. Thats so sad. Try to keep your spirits up. (((hugs))))

We garden too, so I know your disappointment. Our garden is still in baby stages - waiting for our weather to warm - very late this year. Still snow in the mountains we see from our land. I hope you can still reap something from the mess.

Wow - soooooo sorry!!!

oh how sad. All that hard work and it is ruined.

I think you would have time to replant. Your growing season is longer there.

Oh, how horrible! Just a thought ... plants are so resilient. It looks like they might have a little life left in them. Why not let them recover?

That is too bad. All that work. Maybe they might come back.

I'm so sorry - to lose such healthy plants! - I say try again! Plenty of growing season left - good luck and better weather :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Oh my goodness. So sorry. The weather this year has just been so destructive. We lost alot of hay due to straight line winds this year too.

I think you may have some luck with them if the weather stays OK for you - give it a try before digging in. All the best.

That is the joy of gardening, never give up. so sorry for you replace with something that grows fast.

This is sad to see, and I am so sorry it happened, but I would plant again now! You obviously love to garden, so don't let the storm defeat you. It is not too late to plant some things, and maybe it would lift your spirits. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

Is that hail damage or wind, or a combination of elements? Looks like a hoard of locusts came through. I feel for you. It is so sad to have such beautiful planting results and see them destroyed in a blink of an eye.
