Seedlings are attacked by HAIL!!

As a result of the Alabama tornado, two hail storms hit Knoxville in the same night.  Golf ball size hail, wind and rain hammered the seedlings.  Several pots were smashed and the garden was washed away.  Jon and I took the ravaged seedlings and planted them right into the garden which we reconstructed with new soil.  We kept the pots that survived and moved alot of them to the back deck and yard.  The sun is now coming around to the back of our house where the garden is.

In the garden we planted herbs, radishes, tomatoes, squash, eggplant, peppers and sweet corn.  We are excited to see how everything does.  We will keep you posted on our progress.  Let us know if you have any suggestions or success stories!!

Below are some pictures that show how the seedlings are doing.
