I always grow a garden, sometime extensive, lately a bit smaller due to drought. But I always have peas and lettuce in the spring, and tomatoes and beans in the summer.
Yesterday we got our first significant precipitation since February.
It was 1 1/2 inches of hail.
A cherry tomato and my potatoes (grown from true seed, so I was baby-ing them) were under the eaves on the south side of the house. They survived. And maybe a few seedlings for the fall garden
My mountain-side garden has cool nights all summer, and a short season to boot. There's no time to replant the heat-lovers now. So I guess we'll go heavy on the mid-summer-planted cabbages and carrots and winter radishes now. But we will miss our peas and beans and tomatoes. (We did eat lettuce from the garden, and it has now bolted.)
