Hail Storm Decimated the Garden!

The Good Lady and I had just finished a wonderful meal. Great salad from our garden with the help of the farmer's market.

We had already been experiencing smoky skies from the neighboring province of British Columbia forest fires. Which made it hard to see this storm cell come towards us.

Then it hit us!

Oh boy did we be get thunder F*****!

Before the storm the Good Lady and I were enjoying our back Yard.


The next morning here's how the main garden looked. The kale, strawberries, onions, spinach, tomato plants, and many other plant we're all decimated. We'll see what comes back.

There was still a mountain of hill this morning at the downspout from the house gutter.

Hopefully the gladioluses will flower later in the season!

It's been in the low 30s (C°) for the last few days here. Just before making this post, I snapped a photo at about 3:00 p.m.

Still a bit of hail Unmelted at the gutter.

The Good ladies flowers took a s*** kicken. I usually don't buy store-bought flowers. I had to get her a bundle today at the shopping center.

Not sure we'll recover our investment this year as far as our garden.

But there's always next year, thankfully the farmers market is plentiful so far this growing season.

But on a positive no, it looks like they're still lots of kale for morning smoothies.


Only a few new dents in the truck. And buy all things considered. We get much worse hail storms in this area. There's usually a couple devastating storms each year.

Even though we took a good hit, I've seen a lot of suffering from hail storms in the area over the past few years.

Thanks for stopping in.
