Hail-recovery and happy sunshine

July 1st, 2006 · 2 Comments

We are still waterlogged here in MA. I have not watered any plant in weeks it seems and the planters are on the edge of liquefaction. Any more and the mold will be our major crop.

As you all know from my last garden post, we got a hail storm that beat up our plants. Well, as you can guess, they have rebounded :-).

The deck is looking green

The tomatoes are happy and need to be tied up to the trellis.

Dew on corn plant, early morning sunshine. (Notice, the sun is SHINING, it’s a stranger here)

    Hi Nika - I’m glad they’re recovering from the hail storm, the pictures are beautiful, I can’t resist the radishes!

    Keiko: indeed, all is well in our tiny garden :-) The radishes are getting bigger every day, starting to wonder when they want to be picked. Wish I could share them with you!
