Hail Yeah

Yesterday afternoon’s garden & yard ventures were shortened by a heavy rain storm. I turned out that we got .7”. Shortly after the rain started there was a shower of hail. Expecting that the garden would be smashed down and the leaves shredded, an early morning inspection foray was conducted at 1st light. There was no damage and the leaves that had looked sad and wilted yesterday were standing up tall and proud.

The spaghetti squash is doing the best ever so far this year. (knock on wood). There is one odd looking specimen laying in the garden path beside the spaghetti bed. Instead of the white or light yellow of most of the squash this one is green and spotted. It will be fun to see what it is.

Supper last night was a salad made from lettuce and tomato from the garden. It was quite good. Now if there were only a cucumber. Among my friends, my garden is the only one producing tomatoes. Some of them have cucumbers though.
