(Click to Make Pics Larger)
However...God or Mother Nature, or the Universe for that matter, had other plans. That evening before I had even uploaded those pictures, we had several freak thunder and lightning storms with pouring rain. No big deal, right? Except we got HAIL! Not once, but twice. At five am, the cascade of hail hitting the roof was so loud that it even woke Jake out of sound sleep. And trust me, he sleeps through everything! The next morning I went outside to find this:
The hail ripped holes through all my big, green, leaves, leaving my plants looking ragged and sad. I guess that'll teach me not to act so high and mighty.

Awwww. Hope your garden bounces back!
I hope to do Cucumber next year too. Here is my post on zucchini gone wild. My hubby calls it the Little Shop of Horrors!

How is your garden recovering?
It is bouncing back. The leaves are still all ragged but the veggies are growing. I have to play hide and seek to find them though. :-)
That's a cucumber? Looks like a baby dill pickle. I hope it was spared from the storm.
