Dang Patrick, so sorry for you. Hope you"ll be able to recover those lil guys and get them back on their growth. Good thing is that plants are pretty resilient. Wishing you the best of luck in your recovery efforts with the plants.
Damn Patrick !! I'm so sorry to see that. That's one of my greatest fears ...... happened last year. Most of my plants came back but it still sucked !! And yes Ma Nature can be a mean thing at times.
They were super healthy to begin with it appears, so as long as the main stem is intact, they should just get pissed off and start flinging new growth out in every direction! Good luck broseph! Keep high hopes, betcha you'll be surprised!
Sorry about your plants Patrick.
I saw the pictures and its heartbreaking. We spend so much time growing them and keepting them happy and safe and then chance happens and blows it all away.
Hope they recover soon.
Awww, man! that does suck. Hopefully the adversity makes them stronger. Works for a lot of us. Saw this morning that you had sixty mile an hour winds and a lot of hail. Somebody in Nebraska lost their roof.
Well P, I can't really say anything more than has been said, except maybe !!!!!. Just know that we all hope your plants spring back and produce bucket loads for 'ya.
Man that's crappy! That's a setback for sure, but these are pretty resilient plants. We've been having high winds and rain lately too. Supposed to be like this for the next few days. My only saving grace is that I was able to move them into a greenhouse.
Patrick ..... maybe this will make you feel a wee better. Here's two of my Bonnets that got jacked last monday. They got topped and most the leaves got broke off too. I see new growth coming on . Would have been much better if things didn't happen to them ..... but they do want to come back and grow.
I was afraid to go out this morning but knew I had to. I'm happy to say things do look better in the morning. The sun is in and out and they're starting to stand tall again. Me and the razor blade did a lot of amputating of limbs so they don't look so bullet ridden anymore. Lost a few small branches and had one pretty much cut in half. I have confidence that they will all be back.
I need to develop an emergency plan of action so I don't have to go through this again.
Glad to hear yours are recovering P. Dreadie. Keep the positive thoughts.
