This Week in the Garden- - September 17
2:51 PM
This past week was a rough week in the garden. Last Monday it hailed, and while we had enough pea sized hail to cover the yard, we were lucky. A mile west of us had a foot of hail. They had to get out the plows! The big leafed plants did not fair well. This obliterated plant was a cucumber. I picked the last of the cucumbers and pulled up the plant. The squash and zucchini don't look much better. I haven't pulled them just yet since there are a couple of blossoms left. I've got my fingers crossed that they become something.

I hope the hail damage is minimized and that they become something. It's been a strange late-summer early-autumn hasn't it?
ReplyDeletebummer that your garden isn't as strong as previous years, but with the weather you've had I guess your lucky. Beautiful pumpkins! And just in time for Halloween :)
ReplyDeleteYour pumpkins look good at least! Things are starting to slow down quite a bit in our garden. The cucumbers have been done for a while, but we are still getting tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteI love your comments. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
