Yesterday's weather

Yesterday it hailed...

We've had hail a few times in the last month, nothing as bad as Christchurch had yesterday though; they got a few inches, and some of it was pretty big. 
The strip down the side of the drive is my new pumpkin bed.  We scraped the turf off and piled it down the middle, then covered it with horse manure, cardboard, straw, kelp then carpet.  I ran the soaker hose along under the carpet too as the rain wasn't getting through very well.  Hopefully the pumpkins/courgettes will be ok in there, we'll see.
