Thursday morning our area was hit with a large thunderstorm system, known as a derecho, as it swept from Iowa to Indiana in the Midwest. A derecho is a cluster of continuous thunderstorms spanning 400 x 60 miles with winds of at least 58 mph. It was disheartening seeing the aftermath of the storm with the majority of our fresh transplants laying horizontal in the field.

After the storm we immediately set to work on damage control. It took almost 8 hours working in the soaked clay field to get all of the plants vertical again. Some plants were fairly battered needing much more care than others.
