Bye Bye Garden

The largest hailstorm in 20 years hit Denver hard.
No more garden for this wee lass.
I mean, there are some things that can be nurtured back to health, but my seeds are demolished, all my hard work, wait, did you hear something flushing? Yes, down the toilet!

((Sigh))

Following my garden video is film of the storm which wreaked said havoc upon my sad little plot.
It is actually quite peaceful and very remarkable, after having passed over my house, the storm moved East and the lightning was non-stop.

(Shrugs shoulders) I give up....

In 1996 I lost 1200 acres of cotton and 600 acres of rice to Hail. I feel your pain.

I think yours would have been quite a more dramatic loss by leaps and bounds. Couldn't imagine what that must have been like. Esp. if you were relying on those crops for your livelihood. I can always buy more veggies, but I don't sell them for a living.

I lost my garde in Denver 20 some years ago to hail. Time to plant your fall garden. Good luck

@ 2:05 you said no way to completely prepare....... well there is. a controlled environment like a greenhouse would have survived. the only downfall with a greenhouse is the cost.

[LUVMAGNUMGUNS2]

that totally sucks. but at least you don't have to depend on that crop to survive!

I know how those Denver hailstorms are. I used to live in Yuma County. I should have guessed you are a Colorado Girl.

Pitty about your crop :(

I liked the storm video, you are like me, I love watching lightening

[dontblamethemessenge]

Some people put a net over the vegetables (maybe one meter high) so that the big hail stones are stopped or at least hindered in their fall.
