Spoke to soon, just got pounded by hail.....garden is toast How bad is it? We had one of the worst hail storms here Amarillo had ever seen, totaled every vehicle including my truck that was almost undeliverable, killed trees and 6 dove in our yard. 3/4 the city had to be reroofed and all my plants minus the cilantro pulled thru fine. Knocked all leaves off tomatoes, garlic looks questionable, broccoli questionable....I'll know the full scope of damage tomorrow morning.

My tomatoes were about 2' tall already. Started them from seeds back in early Feb.
If they don't make it I have 6-8 left under the grow lights still, plus all my peppers.

In the past 2 days I have panted 5 rows of corn, 2 rows of red and green bell peppers, 1 row of jalepenos, 5 pobalano pepper plants, 1 row of maters, two packs of sweet baby watermelon seeds, and 2 packs of jubilee watermelon seeds, 2 packs of cantaloupe seeds.
and just got over 1" of rain tonite
I planted all of this in a corner of the coastal bottom...... SOOOOOOO, I am either gonna have about a 1/3 acre garden....... OR a humongos coon/pig feeder... time will tell Nice, got any pics? I think Paynes came back last year after getting wiped out by caterpillars I lost some plants to a late frost last year.

I always thought that all bell peppers turn red unless otherwise labeled.

Thanks! I've just been using well rinsed and composted seaweed I gathered off the beach last year for fertilizer. All my plants are going nuts with this stuff. Oh, and fish guts too!

Do you remember when you put the plants in the ground? The weekend after Valentines Day. I had to keep them under some clear totes for a few cold snaps though. They seemed to love the little greenhouses.
