Post #2 - September 7th, 2010, 12:16 pmyou aren't kidding--My ginormous basil pot that (I thought) was wind-blocked by other pots just toppled off the small table it sits on (it easily ways 20 lbs).

Post #6 - September 7th, 2010, 5:17 pmI had to do a little repair to my espaliered tomato plants, but no big damage to any of the five plants; my gigantic Caribbean Red chile plant did partially tip over, but no apparent harm was done, as the plant stayed in its stand. The only casualty appears to be a very odd one: a large branch of a big trailing lime-scented geranium up on the deck blew right off the plant! The plant itself appears to be OK, though - and the branch is now in a vase of hormone-enhanced water for rooting purposes. Guess I should have been more attentive to occasional pruning.
Oh, well. Just another day in the Midwestern garden.
