Isabel is bearing down on my raised beds. I've reinforced as best I
can, but I think they're toast.

Here's hoping for the best.


Well, now that she's gone, we have about on third tomatoes standing. We
just our power back, Thank God and Dominion Power. Lots of tree damage, not
as bad as it could have been, for sure. Some years ago , our apple tree,
second year, was flattened, now it is almost mature, and flattened again. I
am going to try staking it up again.
Isabel, was a true bitch.
Good luck to all. Len


Actually, my tomatoes made it! They were sufficiently sheltered by the
neighbor's house. Never lost power, but that I'm Allegheny Power, and
they never seem to go out in my area (upcounty Montgomery Co, MD)
