Today we got a couple of huge down pours as a result of a thunder storm system that rolled through around dinner time today. With the rain came a fair amount of pea-sized hail.
As you see, today's rains were so hard that most of the plants have been spattered with soil. I'll have to rinse them off tomorrow morning.

These storms added to a very wet couple of weeks for us with plenty-o-rain and many overcast days. A few years back we had a similarly wet May and June. The excessive moisture introduced diseases to my zucchinis, tomatoes and cucumbers which negatively impacted the health of the plants and reduced yields. I hope our weather dries out for a while.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDvwYzYwLGV0c-YAndtqrYa-P3B2opV6iZ9q1FnEB_a5xuZMbUdKu5t8ZcRkBzNLUkC0dPdG_Vp-JIwio561h4Z7kbDRTP5gWMPLj3kuuxlJ_45y2bASEjeUhT5LScAg6urlL9YxcuDVw/s320/IMG_0316.jpg)
