There is never enough knowledge, thank you!
Well, our wild downpours have already beaten down my vegetable as well as flower beds. Surprisingly enough, the tomato plants survived the best mostly because I support them by several bamboo sticks. Yes, and I also have a nice harvest of onions. Otherwise the carrots and parsely are bad.
I can be proud of various kinds of mint plants - the best is the lemon mint. The plants survived almost intact.
