>Well, it’s been a while since I’ve blogged about my garden.. or blogged period. So I figured I would write up a quick blog about the garden. You’ve probably seen my last post about the garden on May 30th. Well, we had nothing but rainstorms last month, and unfortunately got hit by hail on June 11th. Here’s some pictures from that.
Firstly, let me show you what the hail around my downspout off of my gutters looked like.
As you can tell (or you may not) the leaves on my plants got ripped to shreds. BTW, it’s Tomatoes, Squash, Bell Peppers and the Strawberry plant in that order. I had to prune the heck out of them, and in some cases, I had to leave the shredded leaves otherwise they wouldn’t be able to photosynthesize and grow.
And then, on top of everything else, my tomatoes ended up getting sunburned.
But at least one of my lemon boys grew a tomato!
As you can see, the tomatoes are doing very well, as well as the squash. However, I’m not too sure about the bell peppers, I was told they take a bit longer to grow than most other plants. And sadly, my Strawberry plant died. I’m not sure what killed it, but it never quite recovered after the hailstorm. Oh well, maybe next year in a different way.
Anyway, that’s the update on my garden! On other news, I finally updated my website after aproximately 13 months of not doing anything with it. Check it out!
And hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th. Don’t blow yourselves up okay?
