I just found out on the 10pm news tonight how blessed we were last night. About 5 miles from our house they had hail bigger than a golf ball for over 2 hours. OVER 2 HOURS!!!!!!!!!!! Ours only lasted about 30 minutes so I can not even think about how bad it would have been for 2 hours and bigger than a golf ball would have been about 5 times bigger than ours.
They were out this morning, some 7 hours after it fell and it was still piled up in the ditches where it accumilated so much. They showed this on tv. Ours was gone in less than 15 minutes. Man, I sure hope that person was bumping up the amount of time it fell because I would have been a screaming mess of hysteria with out tin roof and sky lights and hail for 2 hours! No bigger than it was, it sounded terrible. I'm just thankful that the wind wasn't blowing like it usually does when we have this type storm because I would have been so afraid. I hate it when the wind blows so hard because with our trees, that I love so much, it sounds like a tornado coming if it blows very hard. Yes, we had a tornado come through in 2001 so I know what it sounds like. Most scary thing I've ever been through.
So, a few tops broken out is a small thing. they'll be fine in a short time.
Now, I'm just plum jealous of that soil. I know you must water ofter, but just look at that stuff all nice and loose just waiting for you to cover up those beautiful roots. Wonderful plants.
Blessings to all, Mona
