HAIL

So my post is a few days late and a dollar short compared to DG, but consider it a he said she said. Oh wait our versions are the same. Here is our Backyard Cleanup Phase 2 and 3

The new flagstone patio was put in on Saturday and we, (and by we I mean DG) were ready to plant our new shrubs on Sunday.

So it was about 5:30 Sunday night, DG had just finished planting all of the new shrubs in the back yard and I had finished planting 50 bulbs when the storm came in. It started off with Pea sized hail and moved to grape size. It was crazy to watch it coming down and very loud on the roof of our patio. We quickly covered all of the new shrubbery with our lawn furniture so they wouldn't get beaten up. I only screamed like a little girl once when I got beaned in the back of the neck with an ice ball.


1 lilac tree, 3 dwarf boxwoods, 2 butterfly bushes, 1 small pine, 2 grass bushes, 2 golden shrubs, 4 purple spirea, 4 clumps of multicolored dahlia bulbs, and 50 gladiolus bulbs. We are hoping that by August it will all grow fast and beautiful. I am still working on my green thumb, it is a light shade of sage right now.
