Hail on May 25 and I was not home.

 If I'd only thought of covering the tomatoes for overnight. We were in C. Springs.  

As you can imagine, I was so sad.

So on Saturday morning, I got up at 6 am to bike ride but it was 52 degrees.  I looked on line and saw Home Depot was open at 6.  I got there in 10 minutes and was out of there in 10 minutes.  I just got a couple more basil and tomato plants.

So I am hoping this one will recover.  That is a new basil plant

new tomatoe and basil

A hailed on tomato and a green pepper I bought by mistake

New cherry tomato and recovering basil

Hot chocolate pepper that I was so looking forward to. Now in the veggie garden with one leaf

This one is just a stem. Laura Flanders said it is probably not recoverable

The lettuce was on the deck so it did not get a lot of damage

The petunias here and there were two other new plants got decimated.

This one was under the deck so just a bit of damage. All the honeysuckle and lilac flowers were all blown off

Tom put up the cucumber wall and the snap pea wall.  I found extra cucumbers and planted them near the wall.  The little sprouts also got damaged as did the lettuce and I am hoping for recovery

So the pine tree garden looks okay.  The tree that is my nemesis actually protected all the coleus and even some of the petunias.

Transplanted a vine here

My effort at creativity.  I saw this pot on it's side and thought, Wouldn't that be a nice garden ornament. I am not sure the orange whatever they are will make it but maybe the

something happened to the lily. Maybe the wild wind on Saturday but there seems to be a dahlia in there

I bought some annuals, impatiens and dianthus  and the impatiens survived most of the hail due again to that apple tree that I don't like in that garden

Dahlias are coming up but I put in pansies on the side because they were only $99 cents at King Sooper.  I had gone this morning to get a tomato plant to thank Wilson. And then a couple of those vines.

So there is hope.  This is a spiritual lesson.  No matter how hurt, devastated, beat up, wounded, damage, God can bring life again.
