That's what I was worried about - more prone to a infection or infestation since they are so damaged, I thought maybe too damaged. They are putting out new growth which surprised me, the storm was a week ago today. I'll just keep a close eye on them and hopefully I'll get some growth I can cut and root.

It was a crazy storm ,the hail was up to small gumball size but it was coupled with 90+ mph wind and it came in horizontally, probably why it did so much damage. 12 minutes and my gardens were leveled. The picture shows where they ended up...
I'm sure finding out which plants are tough as nails. I did get quite a bit of finely shredded organic mulch for my beds and I'm crossing my fingers that the wind took the spider mites with it.
Thanks for your help
