Anyone else lose their plants from the hurricane Francis? Returned to home. Have House, lost most of the back yard plants. Question is, start over? or just put sod in and forget it.

Flamona, I am so sorry to hear about your plants and gardens!! But also, glad to hear you are OK!!! And your house is okay too!!!
That is the most important part!
Maybe look at this as a new way to to start all new and fresh, do something different that what you had originally, and a new idea or something you wouldn't of had room for or what ever the scenaro could be???
Thank~GOD you weren't hurt, and your house is intact and go do some volunteer work for those less fortunate and help them recover... Help where you can!!!
Maybe you'll get some ideas some wheres when helping others, you just never know!!!
Besides, I'm biased!! I hate sod!!!! LOL!
bbbbbbbbb Weezie

Sorry to hear about your plants. Hope you get a nice new start. I understand hurricanes are horrible. Last year Hurricane Isabel came and ruined all my plants in the back yard. Francis is probably much worse.

Last year I was waiting until the right moment to harvest some money plant seeds and we had a wind storm. No money plant seeds.
Glad you and your house are ok. Maybe you could tiller your backyard up and plant wildflowers and a few evergreens. Let us know. I'm sure this board can supply you with seeds and plants.

Thanks everyone. Guess I was just a little stressed after picking up tree limbs, roof shingles, and cleaning the mold from the florida room . Ya'll are right. I had just bought a shrimp plant and found it laying in the ditch today, and guess what? the flowers were gone and the stems were bent nearly off, but at the junctions little leaves already have started. So I just clipped off the brown part above where the leaves have started, set it back up and tomorrow will find a place to plant it. Hopefully the rest of the hurricanes out there will leave us alone, and we all can start over again.
