hail damage
Jun 14, 2010 | 9:43 PM PST

weather was finally nice today and i was able to check out the damage =(

we had golf ball size hail on thursday, and pea size on friday, saturday/sunday were rainy days....the majority of the lettuce leaves were damaged, and so was the broccoli...i took out the most of the lettuce.

i also decided to plant marigolds around the bed cause i've noticed an increase in bugs!!!!
