Flamona,
I am so sorry to hear about your plants and gardens!!
And your house is okay too!!!
That is the most important part!
Maybe look at this as a new way to to start all new and fresh, do something different that what you had originally, and a new idea or something you wouldn't of had room for or what ever the scenaro could be???
Thank~GOD you weren't hurt, and your house is intact and go do some volunteer work for those less fortunate and help them recover...
Help where you can!!!
Maybe you'll get some ideas
Besides, I'm biased!!
I hate sod!!!! LOL!
