Now it’s hit us, too. Just under 5 minutes of chaos with hail, rain, and hurricane-force winds. It looks sad 😢 in the vegetable garden. Everything with large leaves is tattered; the sugar melons are even completely crushed. The roof of the tomato greenhouse we built last year is smashed, and some of the fruit has split open... But the pumpkins aren’t giving up and are already turning their blossoms back toward the sun. The bees and bumblebees are grateful for that. Surprisingly, even my biggest pumpkins have been spared. Now we’ll have to wait and see what else grows and how. In any case, the mulch question has been settled. Almost everything is covered in green... In the comments, here are a few more pictures from earlier this week for comparison.
