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.

We suffered terrible damage:

I just discovered a potted gardenia knocked over and had to right it.
There is no damage to the gardenia.

But, my wife's Pulmaria suffered worse as the pot got knocked over and
a branch got clipped off.
On the bright side, she's sending the severed limb to a friend in Ohio
to clone for her Florida room ;)

Do you mean plumeria? If so, is there any way I can get one too? I thought
they wouldn't grow indoors but I must be wrong.
