Peas were great, potatoes slow (put in too late) and then it hit! Saturday here in Raleigh, we got hit with golf ball size hail. The real killer was the duration of the storm. It must have hailed for 25 to 30 minutes. The garden was inialated! Any broad leaf crop (cukes, squash) leaves looked like they had been hit with a shot gun blast. The 2 ft. corn was laid over sideways. I wintered a Red Sevinia Habanero and it was doing great. Bunches of flowers. Now Sunday morning it looked like fall under the plant with all the leaves on the ground. We went out to save what we could. The green beens had been hilled and now were just a mess. Life goes on. I told Cindy to just be glad we still have a warm dry house in one piece. That storm was huge. Don't see how the windows stood the heavy pounding without breaking. Take care all.
