I checked my garden tonight and the grim reality is that I've lost roughly 90% of the plants to the hail storm. I've read about farmers dreading hail and now I understand why. The size and velocity of the falling rocks of ice must have been like firing at the plants with birdshot from ten feet away. This weekend will be busy for me as I replace some of what I lost from a local nursery and, in a gesture of defiance, rip up more of the backyard and plant twice as much corn as I originally planned.

aw, that is so sad. That lettuce looks like it was hacked with a machete. Who woulda thought, hail in June...
But, like the old timers used to say "ya gotta pull yourselves up by ya' bootstraps and continue on".
Maybe a good thing you read "Worst Hard Times" because you know, it could be much worse...little consolation, I know...*sniff*sniff*
