This would be the bbq grill that was picked up by the wind and moved to this spot where the hailed nestled nicely in.

I wish this picture picked up better on the poor plant casualties but the corn was shredded, the beans are naked of their alot of their leaves and I think all the blossoms, the cucumbers were a total fatality, the peas did okay except there was a loss of pods and those already there got pretty pocked up.

The tomatoes REALLY took a hammering!

And this shows some of the hail piles! (or as Aubrey yelled, "Snow!")

It is just so disheartening when you baby the little plants along through frost and snow in spring and you just pray that the growing season will be long enough to get a good harvest and then in 15 minutes (or more like 5 minutes of hail time) all your hard work is laughed at by nature. But as was pointed out, at least we are not flooded out of our homes and livelihoods. I think all in all, we should have some good recovery although it will slow things down quite a bit.

Poor garden. Send it our love...
I love the title! Darn the hail! I hope things are salvage-able.
