Irene wasn't much of a storm here in New England, a lot of rain and
only
moderate winds. My tomato plants are all still standing.


Some of my stakes are leaning, and some branches are bent over.
So far just 1 Early tomato and a half dozen cherries are on the ground.

The Cantaloupes are ripe, took them inside before the storm.

No big damage to my garden in Boston, but a friend who lives in Truro,
on the Cape, suffered a lot of damage to his tomatoes and pole beans.
There wasn't enough stuff standing between him and the ocean to break up
the big winds from Irene.
