Hail vs. My Garden - Round 1
Out of the blue yesterday(and I really mean out of blue…it was sunny and beautiful, but then…the sky turned black….) we had an unexpected hail storm!
It only lasted about 5 minutes before turning to heavy rain, but those 5 minutes did some serious damage to my beautiful plants…
Now, I don’t see hail very often and I admit I was not prepared. I knew there was a chance of rain, but I honestly would’ve been more proactive had the weatherman mentioned there would be ninja-quality ice daggers shooting out of the sky! (actually, I don’t know what I would have done…maybe convinced my neighbors to gather their umbrellas and stand vigil in my garden?)
All I could do is stand at the window and watch(and wince) as the hail stones pummeled my plants…
I’ve decided I should stop complaining about this because it could have been worse…much worse.
The damage here was minimal and was nothing like the hail storm we had last June. I saw a video from somewhere in Akron of that one….
Luckily, my plants seem to have weathered the storm just fine(give or take a few shredded leaves here and there…)
My flowers have perked back up and the zucchini forges on, holes and all!
