Had a big storm last night. I went to the patch this morning as the 335 Scherber was due for a pollination. When I got there it was gone. The whole patch. The 335 was in a little ball. All the other plants were ripped out by the roots. The electric fence was down and most of the posts were gone. The creek flooded. The 1478 Scherber made the ultimate sacrifice; it was wrapped up around the 139.25 Ansems long gourd and saved the long gourds from destruction. There were on a slightly higher raised bed but it still looked like they had been under water. The forecast for today is for extremely heavy rains. My daughter will have to take a detour to get to work in Iowa City: Iowa Highway 1 is washed out in a couple places. Cedar Rapids had cars washed of streets and into yards. Several towns in Jones county have significant flood damage. Photos will follow.
