Re: Hail Storm

what a shame! I've never experienced something so severe, but I would think many things that aren't torn too badly will pop back up in a day or so with some sunshine - grass too. I would think it's still just early enough in the season that some will put out new growth that will yet have enough time to harden before fall - if it doesn't come early. Hoping for the best.

We experienced an horrific hail and thunderstorm yesterday at about 11:45
AM. It lasted about 15 minutes or so, but pretty much flattened the garden! 
There was still some ice on my deck this morning!  The yard is buried in
leaves an debris. My container gardens are in ruins and most flowers were
broken or blown off the plants! The grass looks like someone rolled over it with a soil compressor. I dont know how Im going to clean it all up! Im 
thinking of getting a leaf blower/ vacuum combo.



Im not sure that this link will work, but maybe:
