Post Hail Storm Garden Tour - It Happened Again!! #gardentour #hailstorm #gardening

It’s always something. Wind hail drought flood bugs

hi Lisa. Thanks for the share. Have a great week. God bless.

Oh Lisa. That's a bad storm. Sorry about your garden. 😢 This happened to me about 3 years ago.

It's either the Damn weather or the bugs.. I'm sorry lisa.
Thank God for your hail netting and your green houses, Maybe just grow stuff under the hail netting & in your greenhouses?
The hurricane destroyed all of my plants! 😫

Wowww!!! That is crazyy!!! How often do you have hail storms? Those pieces where huge!!!

Whoa! Thanks for sharing Lisa. Hope you have a great rest of your week 😊

That’s a hell of a way to test the hail netting. 😳😢
If you feel up to it you can harvest your lettuce and eat it before the holes go brown. Same with the broccoli leaves.
I bet the herbs grow back.
Leaving the tall weeds around your rhubarb saved it!! Rhubarb is the one plant that would grow here in the 30’s I’ve been told. It can take a lot of abuse.
I may leave that garlic in that still has its tops Lisa and pull the one that lost its top now that I can see it good.

I took my garden video this morning! 😬
Take care lovely. Virtual hugs. ❤️

WOW! So much hail. That's crazy. I'm sorry you had so much damage but I'm glad it wasn't baseball sized hail. But it still has to be such an emotionally upsetting experience. I don't think you are being rash. That's a big hit. If you do decide to continue gardening... maybe something more like a chicken run... with chicken wire and the hail netting as the ceiling. But I totally wouldn't blame you if you decide the outcome isn't worth the effort to garden there. Long distance hugs.

Glad majority survived!! Thanks for sharing!!

Weather is crazy

Wow 😮 I've never seen anything like that before! I'm so sorry..

I'm so sorry Lisa. But....from looking at the plants in the video, most look like they will bounce back. I'm glad the hail netting worked, altho it had some sags with the collected hail. I hear where you are coming from. Being discouraged by something totally out of your control is a hard pill to swallow. Yeap, believe me....I get discouraged too with out weather. But I just won't give up. Stubborn is my middle name lol
Hugs my friend.

Oh my goodness Lisa at first I thought it was snow,I wish it was. Looks like the hail net did its job. Hoping the rest will survive. God bless stay safe and love y'all 💖💖💖

Awww darn it Lisa!!! I know how frustrating that must feel! I’m so glad the hail netting you have helped and I’m glad the greenhouses survived. You are right it could have been so much worse and good call on that hail netting! I think you’re being realistic and you’re in problem solving mode. I love that you’re always real about things! Hugs friend! 🤗❤

I feel your pain on this. I have had those exact same feelings with my birds. Apparently the stubborn german in me just refuses to let nature win, so I keep pumping more and more time,money, etc into the birds out of sheer spite now.

Im not sure what i would do if I did actually give up and let nature win....

Holy cow so much hail thank God you had that netting. So sorry. 😢what a shame. All the work that goes into a garden and planning.

Amazing 2 miles away we only had rain. About 1/4 inch. Sorry for your loss

So sorry Lisa! Hopefully your garden will recover.

It's discouraging to think a few hours can derail months of preparation and care. We hope a lot bounces back. And that you get a much bigger harvest with what you do have remaining

Nature can be cruel and spiteful sometimes☺ Glad to see plants that survived it☺

The netting really saved the day veggie wise Lisa. Hailstorms are a real pain. Hope you get some great late season weather to maximise your harvest.

I'm sorry about the hail storm. I hope the majority of your plants survive and thrive. 🤗❤️🙏🌱🌿

That storm was just crazy, I’m so sorry for all the destruction. ❤️💔

That hail netting looked like it saved a lot ❤️👍🏻

Sorry to hear you got hit by hail again that’s really a bummer, I would feel pretty defeated as well!

That is a shame the broccoli was hit so hard so close to harvest! Yes so much hard work wasted but you were more prepared than many of us for the hail! Love you!

OMG Lisa that was crazy to watch. that hail netting sure looks like it work great. Step back and take it one day at a time you will make proper changes to make it better. i know nothing is absolute but you will make it better. Prayers to you Lise

Your garden is still very beautfiul. Im sorry you had so much damage, but thank god for the hail nets. I am amazed at the weather you get. Here in Cali its been very hot I had planted herbs and most have died, my tomato plants are still producing but struggling very hard to stay green, Take care friend

MAHOOSIVE HUGGLES xox I totally get it hail is awful and i haven't seen hail like that since i lived in Queensland xox

I am so sorry Lisa it is defeating at times. I have lost garden to other things but thankful I can buy bulk from Amish I know. Yes its extra money but sometimes its just worth it and helps getting past the frustration. I hope those plant will pick up and grow and produce for you. Thanks for always being truthful and showing real life on your farm

Wow!

Between the heat and the storms, these gardens are doing their best to stay alive to be able to feed us.

Thanks for sharing💕💕

Dang it! Such a huge disappointment. You’ve been working so hard on your gardens. I’m so sorry.

That is a lot of hail! I can't even wrap my head around seeing that and the damage it can do Lisa.

So sorry about your garden Lisa. I hear what your saying about buying local. Maybe thats a good idea, downsize the garden to a more manageable size to protect from hail. But believe me, I am no stranger to putting hard work into something and then seeing it destroyed, (Remember the cows in my orchard)

Wow! Im glad you had some protection ❤! Yes, mother nature can be so cruel/ beautiful at the same time. Love you, and nope you don't give in that easily. Blessings my friend 😊

😮 oh my Lisa!! Thankfully you had the protection that you DID have!

We are thankful for the hail netting we purchased this year. However, moving forward we will be evaluating if gardening is worth the blood sweat and money for the small yield we get here. The Black Hills of SD consist of the perfect conditions for hail storms…ranging from pea size to golf ball size on a frequent basis.
