That is the word I was using this morning as I walked through my garden and container gardens. Yesterday we received 2 intense storms in our backyard, both with a flurry of hail. Surveying the damage was a hard pill to swallow. When it was all happening, my husband and I worked quickly to move many plants under our balcony. Umbrellas were positioned on several other containers. But I just couldn't get to things quick enough. Many plants were unfazed, but the leafy glamorous ones were hit hard as were the succulents.
It was rough to see the annihilation and even rougher to see some containers that were heading to the market next week, damaged. I can say that I know my garden will recover and I cannot worry about nature. It gave me a BIG lesson in surrendering and being smarter about its unpredictability.
