Hail No!

by Tricia

We’re under sever Thunder storm watch here in Toronto today. I’ve heard that we might get extremely high winds and hail up to 4 cm (about two inches) in diameter!

I certainly hope we don’t get that hail as it will really damage my garden! We’ve had hail several times this summer, but luckily the hail pellets have been on the small side and didn’t do any damage. Other areas of Toronto have had quite a bit of storm damage and flooding in the last month or two though.

We’ve apparently broken the rainfall record this month too. It’s been a wet summer. Hot and humid too! I think I’ve only watered the garden and lawn twice so far this month. I’m fine with that – the less gardening chores the better and it helps save on our water bill too.

How has the weather been in your area? Has the weather been good for your garden or are you having to do a lot of watering or maintenance to keep your garden looking great this summer?
