One of the most hazardous things that can happen to your plants is extreme weather. Lots of gardens have been ruined overnight because of this phenomenon.

But then again, we wouldn’t have the tragic hailstorms that tear down everything we’ve worked so hard to grow.

The natural rain fall can’t be anything but good for all your thirsty plants, can it? Well, once that same gardener starts to see the gorgeous rain drops turn into small globules of ice, usually a complete emotional breakdown is in order. I know this from experience, because when I was a blooming gardener I had my garden completely demolished by about 10 minutes of severe hail.
