Last night my area was hit with a storm that wouldn't go away. We were pummeled with hail for over 3 hours!
Roses & bachelor buttons
hail couldn't get down the downspout so it jumped off the roof!
more hail from off the roof, last night the entire step was covered.
this garden was full of color until about 8pm
the aspens that I don't like lost a lot of leaves but look okay
all my brand new pansies are gone, this garden WAS full of purple
this one should be okay
this little guy, not so much!
white, maple seedling -gonner. red, squash -gonner
cream pumpkin seeds that hadn't sprouted...may still sprout, but I'm not holding my breath. red, roma tomatoes -probably gonner. white, beans that hadn't sprouted. green in next shot
first green, eggplant -gonner, second green cherry tomatoes -gonner, red peppers -gonner
red above, white peppers - gonner, tall basket thing, tomatoes - gonner
pummeled tomatoes
red, lettuce & spinach - might have a chance, bucket w/brick & rock is covering maple seedlings that might be okay.
more piled up hail
yesterday I was planning who to give all my apples to, today not so much
most are on the ground
the ones on the tree are cracked & bruised!
pine tree
the cherry tree saved the plants underneath
onions & carrots (gone to seed on purpose) -gonners
our grill - we don't really use that table much anyway
hubby measured the hail in the first wave, we got two more waves of hail after that with hail up to 2inches.
Good grief, that's a horrible hail storm. And what a heartbreak to cause so much damage to your plants. Maybe more will recover than you think (?)
ReplyDeleteOh My Gosh!! That hail sure did some damage. I hate when we put so much work into our gardens, home etc.... and something like this comes along and Bam.....
