BIggest Hail Storm Ever in Milano

At the beginning of June, we spent a weekend with Mum and Papa in Tuscany - gorgeous weather! Sunshine, warm, full Spring so flowers blooming everywhere. We were even picking cherries - YUM!

When we came home to Milan we found that a hail storm with golfball sized pieces of hail had destroyed our little backyard garden. As promised long ago, here are some quick pics I took of the destruction:

Tomato and Strawberry Plants

White Striped Hosta

Colorful Flowers

Green Hostas

Hydrangeas

Lavender

Most of our Window-boxes were on the ground...

The window boxes

Our Emma Flowers

More Hydrangeas

Final Hydrangeas

I'm VERY pleased to say, that now it's mid July, our flower-boxes and garden have made quite the sprightly recovery!!! Especially with the automatic watering system Z rigged up for our flower-boxes :) I'll take some updated pics soon. We even have a few tomatoes, strawberries and peppers peeping out that will be ready to harvest further into the summer.
