We're still going strong here. My outdoor hydroponics experiment is definitely proving itself. This is a shot of my Toronjiña tomato plants. They are single stemmed being trained up a string with clips. They're pretty well loaded down with fruit, hope to see them start ripening soon.

The eye passed within 3 miles of the house. 130 mph winds for 90 minutes. I was 2 weeks without power at home. Got it back a little sooner at work, but didn't get the phone and wifi until today.

I'm much luckier than a lot of my neighbors. Most have blue tarps on their roof.

We are a private, not for profit company. She makes more than I do, but they are not well off. Her roof was in bad shape, was the reason she gave for no one covering them. They had set aside the money to roof it, but hadn't got it done yet.

I picked up some of my black plastic pots and 5 gallon buckets with holes drilled in them a half mile down the road this morning. Also found a sheet of roofing, but I just left it.

Got my first tomato off the late start plants. This is what a ripe Toronjiña tomato looks like. Taste-wise similar to a Yellow Pear, but even less acidic and a bit more meaty. These would make an excellent garden muncher, or salad tomato if you're not an unrefined heathen like me. :mrgreen:IMG_20181102_171322.jpg

My okra was kicking ass. I got my first cutting a couple days after the storm. Cooked them {in a pan} on the grill. Then a couple days later when I went to cut it again, the deer had stripped every leaf. All the gates to the garden had blown down, as well as several trees on the fence. And I hadn't thought about fucking deer.

But the one mess I had was real good.
