7. How to Help Your Garden Recover from Hail

Hail is one of the most destructive forces when it comes to the health and well-being of your garden.  If you’re anything like myself, you can relate to the devastation of walking outside and seeing your garden in tatters following a hail storm.   Unfortunately, a recent storm crushed months of hard work, time, and money.  Even though I was bummed and initially wanted to quit gardening, it ultimately wound up creating a positive shift in my attitude.  Today I’m going to outline several strategies on how you can salvage, recover, and rebuild moving forward.  Don’t miss my idea on how to protect your plants from future storms. 

Some key highlights from today's episode: 
    •  What to do with a hailed out garden 
    •  Why you shouldn’t immediately rip out your garden 
    •  If and when you should re-plant
