I have enough problem with high winds as it is.. I'm hoping no hurricanes head this way this year.. Never tried to secure a garden to withstand a hurricane.. Is it even possible to do? Or do the gardeners down here just figure on starting from scratch when one rolls through?

I think that's what crop insurance is for. We get hurricanes blowing up through here, usually the garden is winding down, and mostly it blows over the tomatoes and pole beans. Low growing stuff just deals with the wet for a couple of days... Mind you I'm no longer living in a flood plain. I was hoping this would be the year we did not get a hurricane. We've been getting them every summer and we didn't used too so frequently.

"I just saw an article that says we're in for quite the hurricane season this year. I'm really going to be ticked off if my carefully planned garden gets blown away.
I can just imagine how farmers must feel when some natural disaster ruins their crops "

They can never really predict how bad the hurricane season will be. We are way overdue for a hurricane in this area but if one hits here your garden should one of the last things you will have to worry about. Though normally the garden is pretty much finished by the time the hurricane start in this area.
