Things in my garden that are not dead.

[ghoti_mhic_uait]

There wa a big hail storm yesterday- this year has had hail like when Benedict was tiny, and I haven't noticed in recent years.

Half of my baby squash plants appear dead, and the strawberries which had flowers no longer do.

Raspberries, currants all seem still to be OK. The strawberries and Jerusalem artichokes (plus random potato plant) seem ragged but potentially OK.

The angelica seems happy and unbothered.

I think the moral of the story is, plant Scandinavian plants and they'll probably be OK.

Gosh, have we had hail like that before? I don't recall ever experiencing such, but maybe I'm a stoat with no long-term memory.

I don't have documentary evidence, but I remember hail about an inch across, and the feeling that this was normal-for-Cambridge, so I'm going with yes.

I didn't go out in it yesterday though.
