In the winter, I lost all the broccoli to the hungry squirrels. This spring/summer garden was so lush and big and healthy. But one hailstorm came and took it. It gives a little insight into how devastating it must have been for farmers to lose their entire crop in a storm. At least I can go to the market and buy more. This photo does not show the peppers or the tomatoes. The tomatoes on the vine are now bruised and pitted. The peppers chewed up. The hail sounded as if rocks were being thrown against every window in the house.

Oh my....
So sorry about the garden!
My seedlings are just peeking through up here in the Land of Hiawatha. Spring was long in coming with snow just a few weeks ago. Nothing like a hail storm though to wreak havoc.
We have problems with the squirrels. They pluck the pears off our pear tree, and eat anything that is growing. The birds will take one peck out an apple and then they move on to another apple.
