The weather didn't get too bad here yesterday, just 20 to 30 mph with some gusts up to 50, but my flower beds, especially the Zinnias, Mexican and assorted other sunflowers, are a big mess. Other then cleaning branches from the driveway, I didn't know where to start. So I took a walk around. Glad to see everybody held on tight. Hope you all stayed safe!

I sure hope everybody is ok. Rhonda checked in the Florida garden forum. For us it turned out a lot better then expected. There are still people in my area without power though. Scrubbed and bleached all my bird feeders today, with all the sideways rain the food turned into a nasty mash. Tied up some stuff, but not sure how to proceed. I may just leave this patch of flowers flopped over until they are done flowering and then cut it back.
