somewhat less unscathed

this storm didn't do much in the way of damage...but there was a bit...still more good news than bad...the yukon gold in the top photo was bashed about by a fallen maple branch, but not broken...the same branch, however, did in a sweet corn plant next to the potato...the third photo is of some cherry tree leaves and the tree is not happy...that yellowish cast is indicative of too much water ( same in any plant ) and it may be that the drainage under the tree is poor and water is pooling around the roots...as i recall from digging the hole to plant it in 2012 there was a lot of debris there from the house that used to stand in the lot that is now the garden and the tree's placement may have affected it's root health...hope it dries out soon and anyone watering the garden should leave the tree be for a bit...more water will not help this...on the plus side the hopi blue plant in the fourth photo has begun to tiller...it will look like no corn plant you have seen before soon enough...but it is maize none the less...and as a remedy to losing a sweet corn plant the replants all came though just fine and look happy to be there...more good news in the appendix...more later.
