   I'm going to have to restack it obviously. I haven't decided where I want to keep it yet, and a bit of it still needs to go on the chopping block. Wherever it ends up it's going to go on a pallet so it's off the ground. I probably still have at least this much left to cut up, and other than weekends I'm stuck doing this on little breaks throughout the day so I can't get too much done throughout the week.
   
   This along with several yards of mulch were the result of one storm that lasted about 10 minutes.

     @NailBomb the potatoes seem to have done fine. Everything else is more or less ruined. I have a few tomato plants that are still limping along, and then I had my sweet potatoes out of harms way along with some potted raspberry and grape transplants. The greenhouse got hit on the corner but we were able to bend the metal back out for now. There are a few things in the one raised bed that might survive, but at this point I've just moved on to trying to clean up the yard and make use of the debris.
     
     Even the potatoes with crushed stalks seem to be perfectly fine which is weird.
     
     The good news is we do have a lot more light back there now. The branches that fell covered probably about 1/3 of the total space in the area we've dedicated to the annual garden.

     How much of the garden was salvageable? I only saw the aftermath pic

     Bummer. Thankfully all was not lost.
     
     I often reflect on the lives of our distant ancestors whose survival effectively hinged on what came out of the ground in September, and how an early frost or a midsummer hailstorm could be a death sentence. We're pretty fortunate, for the time being, that we have a convenient and affordable food supply chain.

     @NailBomb yes I am very thankful that I am not entirely dependent on my own ability to grow and store food because we'd all be dead over here. I do have concerns about the food supply chain (stability, quality, etc) but I manage to get most of my stuff from local growers and sellers which helps quiet those concerns a bit.
