    HI sweet_t, hail is a common occurence here in NL, especially during the summer. Another reason why I use horticultural fleece on really fragile seedlings. Hope you don't get any more!

    @Eva - I guess I was just lucky then because I lived in NL for a couple of years during the 1990s and had gloriously hot summers, with not a trace of hail! Lol. 

    Maybe I'm just more aware of what's happening with the weather now that I have veggies in that garden at its mercy.... Hmm

     All my containers had been knocked over by the wind this morning - and I'm talking about large 1m wide ones with beans and tomato vines in them!? Poor things are getting a real mix of weather!?
