Such setbacks (from heaven) are not entirely unknown to me either. It's just that I have large gardens and a vineyard.
I can tell you (as far as vegetables are concerned) that most varieties will recover. Cut the leek in half. This will also give them more volume. Cut off the affected lettuce of the salad, so that only the heart remains. It will then grow back normally. As for the peppers and tomatoes, you now know that they should be given a stake sooner rather than later.
Thank you for this helpful information! I wish had more of a green thumb like my grandfather. I will make sure I put a steak next to the tomatoes and peppers in the future. Likely would have saved some damage.
Also, thank you for sharing this photo of your piece of paradise.
I should make more time to try to find info on your garden and vineyard!
Not in the future. Right now. You can't imagine the self-healing powers of a plant. Especially as you can harvest peppers right up to the first frost.
As for my gardens, fruit trees and vineyard, I tend to limit myself to helping others by following their posts.
But from time to time, I'll send you a few snapshots.
