Early Summer Storms
This is really a weather report for gardeners: Watch Out! The rainy season in my area is all summer long. Because we are at 6,000' elevation, our rain can turn to hail. We get at least one hail storm every summer. But as soon as the clouds roll away, the sun warms it up nicely and the garden can begin to heal itself. This summer we have already had hail the size of pea gravel. The softer leaves of peppers and spinich took a beating, but not so much that they can't revive. Most of the plants are not big enough yet to have had too much contact with hail. It would be nice if this is the last hail storm of the summer, but...I doubt if I'll be that lucky. This is another good reason to garden under a greenhouse at the higher elevations and the more northern latitudes. Last year the hail occured later in the summer, but the bean plants and tomatoes were under a greenhouse fully protected and I did not have any kinky beans!
