Sorry about your garden, all that hard work gone. What kind of shape did the flood leave your garden soil in, any contamination?
I'm in west Ga. and winter gardens do very well here, hope you can get one in this year.
There is never a good time to have a stroke, but mine happened at planting time this fall. A friend put in some collard plants for me and I'm going to try to plant some carrot seed and turnips this weekend. Usually everything is in and growing by now.
All things considered though I'm grateful that a garden is even a concern this year.
