We just had a eMail form my wife's sister in Golden Co saying a hail storm wiped out their garden last night. She included a link to a TV news site with photos showing the hail...
Hail Hail everywhere

Wow! The hail just ripped right through the webbing on those deck chairs in one of the pictures!

Sorry to hear about the damage from the storm. It seems Denver got hit badly too. Lots of trees down and downed power lines. Didn't even get any rain here in the mountains. The storms really seem to blow up when they roll out of the mountains into the plains. We also never seem to get tornados, but 30 miles to the west (in the plains) seems to be a constant problem. Have had some small hail, about pea size, that punched holes in some leaves, but everything survived.
I found some heirloom tomatoes at a roadside stand selling flowers and vegetable plants. Got a Mortgage Lifter and a Cherokee Purple. Then I found three at Walmart, three Brandywine Pink. Will see if I can get them to produce before it freezes.
