Garden is dead.......

[Kurtr]

Mother Tity sprinkles hail pretty much flattened the garden. Strawberries are the only thing I thing will make it.

DAmn, we have dodged the bullet so far. Some wicked hail this year.

 

[Kurtr]

I guess it took a bunch of car windows out up at the country club it spun the pontoon around I thought it was going to flip over

That sucks bad. I am holding my breath this summer. So far only small hail. My garden is flat out unbelievable. Other than the storms the weather has been optimal for gardens.

 

[Kurtr]

It was starting to really kick out allot of veggies hope some of it makes it back but a looks like a law mower went loose on it

 

[LBrandt]

Too bad your so far away, you could raid mine. I might run out of people to give stuff to.

i live in NE Bismarck and my garden is decent but my corn patch for the pheasants is laughable. between the drier weather ( I don't water it much on rural water) and the hail I now have maybe 2-3 ft high corn that is tassled out.....ouch. tomatoes/peppers got flattned in the hail storm in june and didn't recover. bbeans, peas,lettuce, pumpkins are all doing well. cucumbers are coming back but very slowly.

 

[Kurtr]

Some of the best pheasant hunting was in two foot corn that was stunted by the drought down here a few years back so maybe it will work out for you.

if its a nasty winter it may. I have an ungrazed pasture behind me as well and in the nasty winters ive flushed over 30 pheasants ( that I count) im sure equally as many are running unseen from my 2.5 acres lot as they come into the corn and shelter belt. last winter was hit or miss didn't really need the protection or feed.

That sucks. I did see quite a few pheasant as we drove north from Pierre today. I managed to miss 'em all.

I feel for you Kurtr. This was the first year in 15 years that I didn't plant a big garden and I am sure glad of it. On June 17, we had a hell of a storm that caused $40k worth of damage to the house and detached garage. All I had in the garden was sweet corn and it was flattened. Fortunately, it was early enough to where it has recovered and looks really good right now. Hopefully it will finish and we won't have another hail storm. We received 3" of rain on Friday night so with the warm weather, the corn is happy!

 

[Kurtr]

Damn that really sucks. No damage to the house so I will call that a win . I will just have to get veggies from across town no hail at all and Mobridge is not that big.

 

[KDM]

Yep!! We're in the same boat as you Kurt. Ours got whacked about a month ago and all we have left is some sweet corn, cucumbers, and watermelon plants. We do have a few radishes that peeked through, but that's about it. Glad I have good friends that have extra so I can enjoy some garden fresh veggies this year.
