Oh, hail.

We live in Kansas and it's spring. It's not a matter of if it will hail; it's a matter of how big and for how long. For last week's storm, the answer is pea-to-marble sized for about 5 minutes.

First, the good news. Here's the damage to the buildings:
Yep, that's it. There are just a handful of little pings on the north sides of the buildings.

Now, the bad-but-could-be-worse news:
The radishes took a beating, and the broccoli didn't come through unscathed.

  Here are before and after pics:
Before is above, after is below... in case you can't tell.

So, it just has little holes in the leaves and some "branches" broken off. It could be worse! But everything else looks just fine and dandy, and the broccoli will be just fine. Here's hoping our good weather luck continues.
