All hail broke loose on my container garden :(

howelbama
12 years ago

Had a nice "severe thunderstorm" yesterday.

Four rounds of relatively heavy hail along with several close lightinibg strikes and high winds.

All my plants took some heavy damage to the foliage, most of the fruit seem ok, but I have a feeling the bulk of the damage will take a few days to really show.

Next season I will have some type of protection set up from the start.

Live and learn...
