After weeks and weeks of high temperatures (including two heat waves) and almost no rain, a thunderstorm passed through the Peace Region last night. It brought with it a heavy, sustained downpour and hail. The potato plants ended up surrounded by little mounds of hail, and the alley behind the house turned into a small river. Fortunately, the ground was so dry that most of the rain was absorbed, and there was no pooling in the garden plots. I'll know later today whether the hail caused the plants any damage.
