stand it back up and mound some soil up to hold the stalks up. The soil wont hurt em.

I know it seems odd but making a large batch of salsa would help tremendously.

Have you climbed on your roof and looked down at it? Are you sure it was a storm and not an attempt by aliens to make NJ crop circles?

So, anyway, I wish I could remember what kinda tomatoes these are... because, for all their special treatment and tender care, the tomatos were very meh.  I suppose there is simply not enough sun on my property for tomatoes.  Or much else for that matter!

OK, since no one cared about my corn
It managed to upright itself. it's still a bit on an angle but it will live.

Here's my garden. 

Look at those puny leaves!  Amazing that it can make those tomatoes somehow.

I took this photo at 8:15am.  Yup, I'm getting a little sick and tired of dark rainy days!  But I gotta admit that it's been nice to never have to water anything!

we had a pretty big storm blow through and dump 3 inches of rain overnight. Now, all my corn is knocked over. the stalks aren't broken, but the plants won't stand back up. anyone know what to do?

So, back to all that is important in the world -> -> -> RASPERRIES!

Yes, as Mr. RaspberryResentmentSFW said, they will grow just about anywhere. I planted these along the back fence, near the alley. We refenced a couple of years ago and that didn't wipe them out, which is a good sign of their longevity. I don't cut them back as I used to; I'm not exactly sure why I ever did. My grandfather, in his retirement, would spend June and July picking wild raspberries along the Missouri River in Sioux City, Iowa. THOSE were never cut back by anyone. He used to go out in coveralls and heavy boots, in the sticky humidity, and come back to their house like he'd been attacked by a tornado of cats with their claws out. Thankfully, my domesticated berries aren't quite that painful to harvest.

EVERY TIME the pump for the yard irrigation, they get water via a soaker hose. The key to keeping them happy is lots and lots and lots and lots of water. And some fertilizer. And some picking. Lots of picking so that they know they are appreciated.
