Colorado Hail, CO. Elev. 5,900 FT

Ok... I've seen all the posts about everyones bad weather, or problems growing plants due to this or that. Well, if you want to feel better, copy and paste these two links into your address bar and check out these before and after pictures. These two shots explain how my weather and my season has been going this year. The worst hail storm happened here on July 9th, when 12-14 inches of all sized hail destroyed most all plant life in my main patch. And to think I was dissapointed with last seasons 666.6 fruit... I only had 4-5 inches of hail last season, nothing even close to this kind of pasting. 5 of my 6 patches have had severe hail storms. Only my genetic patch 3 blocks up from James Kane has been hail free, as his area seems to be prone from hail and bad weather.

Hey Marc, you talking 12 inches of hail, or 12 or thirteen hail storms.....lol..Bad weather here is the norm all this season, as the forcast calls for super cells with severe hail the next two days. If it hails again, I think it will be hail storm # 14 or 15 around here, with no sun nor heat at the end of the tunnel which is getting shorter by the day...JK... Here is a link to our grim weather forcast and possible demise for the season of 2004....http://iwin.nws.noaa.gov/iwin/co/discussion.html
