Saturday on the Farm

We had a bad thunderstorm here on Tuesday. we got a LOT of hail.The ground looked like it had snowed. Thankfully, the biggest piece was saw was the size of a quarter. The rest were all smaller.

Even though the hail was small, it still did a number on the plants. The poor hostas. All of our hostas look like this.

Poor, poor hosta….

The Lily of the Valley is blooming.

Unfortunately, they were damaged in the storm, also.

I finally got around to starting some seeds. I’m a little late, but as we have a long growing season here, it doesn’t really matter. Im using these disposable pans to start seeds in this year. My tomatoes are in this one, sitting on the front porch soaking up some sun. lol Cherry tomatoes, Beefsteak tomatoes, and Roma tomatoes.

I shared a list of seeds that I ordered the other day, If you interested in seeing what I bought, click here. I’ll share what else I planted next week. And, hopefully, pictures of little seedlings!
