Wreckage.

We got hail. Lots of it. Penny-sized hail pummeled my garden the other night. Along with over an inch of rain in one night (we usually don't get an inch of rain in an entire month!).

I went outside to scope out the damage the next morning and here's what I found:

The spinach and chard seedlings were trampled and tattered. I could barely find the lettuce seedlings.

The baby beets were smashed. 

Carrot tops broken in half.

Broccoli stripped.

My tomato plant looks like a stick with a leaf. (cue tear...)

Somehow, amazingly, the peas were untouched. Still had the flowers and everything. And, of course, the indestructible potatoes look good as new.

I guess this is just part of gardening in Colorado. And you never know, nature is pretty good at bouncing back...
