Hail in June and in August, 2013

It's hard to believe in the middle of summer, but we got two severe hail storms.  And they decimated the gardens where the vegetables were coming along nicely.  The first storm totally destroyed some young plants and shredded leaves everywhere.  It looked like a disaster had blown through.  Well, after 6 weeks some of the plants had recovered and were on their way again to producing vegetables when we had another more virulent hail storm.  WOW.  What weather we have had this summer.  Now, the plants are trying again but it will be time for the first frost in another 5-8 weeks and I don't think they are going to have time to mature.  Haven't had any summer squash since they got destroyed the first time. It's been a tough summer for gardening here.
