Sorry to hear that Cofi. It's raining and hailing pretty hard right now. The aquaponic is overflowing... hope those tilapia fingerlings hide on the bottom. Overall it is very discouraging. I learnt that weed are best for Colorado.. as in water crest, mint, or even the kind that you smoke. Shade plants have little chance in our kind of weather.

I have a ton of tomato and pepper seedlings that are good if anyone wants to salvage some of the growing season
Sent from my tin foil coated mind reading device.
My lone jalapeno looks like it won't make it. Got some sunburn on the leaves and even the pea sized hail last night pounded it. Rest look ok, even picked a couple of deep red strawberries in between storms that tasted great. They were small, but noticeably sweeter than the CA grown ones in my fridge.
I hear ya Dave, WHile my seedlings have seemed to have survived for now, The hail and pretty high winds the last couple nights just blew and knocked a lot of the tree fruit off the trees in the yard. The Pears and Apples seem to be more hail resistant than the Plums and cherries.
More hail and high winds for tonight
Wind & rain probably would not terminate our garden but a good dose of hail could ruin it all. Each year I ponder putting in mesh netting over the garden just for hail but always find a way to rationalize not doing it. Eventually my luck will run out.
