Our family built a new house about 3 years ago and begin planting a garden. I've always wanted to have, growing up next door to my grandparents, who've had a garden every year for about 50 years. The 1st year (last year), it came up and wilted (Grazon in the soil from when our house plot was a hay field). This year, it came up great and was looking awesome (think my Granddaddy would've been proud)! Great stand of pink eye purple hull, lady peas, butterbeans, string beans, squash, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes, egg plant, watermelon, cantaloupe, and corn. With the storms that rolled through Thurs. night/Fri. morn, the wind laid down about half the peas and about 1/5 the corn. The stalks/vines don't appear to be broken, just bent over. Nothing is wilting; it still looks good, green, and healthy; still has blooms on the peas. Anyone ever experienced this? Will it come back up and keep producing? Don't guess there's anything I can do. It's just disheartening, especially this far along. Kinda just hoping for some encouragement. What says the pack?

They will slowly come back up straight. As long as the corn stalks didn’t snap they will be fine.
