Your post 6:54 pm the time here 10:20PM hear OOOOHHH NNOOOO!!!
That storm is headed my way!!! I hear the thunder and my lights are
flickering in my home as I write this in south east Michigan, Ohhhh
Nooooo!!!!

All of my plants came from seed also, my plants are so much better
looking than the local green house. Over 200 vegi plants for my big gut.
I just worked all day on my garden. I pray just for rain, not the hail.


Well, in my corner of south-east Michigan, we got plenty of thunder
and lightning, and a much-needed dose of rain. I hope it was the same
for Dan L.

It was bad enough that we had frost overnight Tues-Wed; adding
hail on Friday would have been truly, truly depressing. All that
work covering things up (still had minor damage) would have been
wiped out.

*whew*


I kept an eye on the online weather sites, I kept an eye on the lows and
planted after the lows got above 50 degrees which was Thursday. The
thunderstorm was not too bad, a few of my smaller plants did not hold up
well to the extreme winds. I always grow extra seed plants than I have
garden space. I will be replacing those damaged plants today. When I see
things going well, I toss the extra plants into the compost pile. Much
need rain was needed. After all that needed rain my grass and garden is
still dry dry dry two days later. My rain barrels are full but for how
long?

It is a good thing that people ignore the nonsense parts in my post.
People are smart here

Enjoy Life ... Dan
