We've been on tenterhooks these past couple days. Thunderstorms have been predicted daily since Sunday. Violent weather warnings were issued for our area. We feared strong winds, torrential rains, and hail. None of which would have been good for our vegetable garden, not to mention the vineyards and other local crops around us. So far, though, we have been spared. The extreme weather has missed us.
We did, in fact, have a pleasant afternoon of gentle rain on Monday. But not too far away, over toward Bourges (about an hour east of us), there was a violent storm cell that did a lot of damage to buildings as well as crops. I haven't seen any reports of serious injuries or deaths, thank goodness. Let's hope our luck holds.
I decided to take "before" photos of the garden in case we get damage. Just for the memories of what could have been. This one includes the ten tomato plants, three zucchini plants, and one of the pumpkin vines. And the artichokes lurking in the background.
So happy your garden was spared the bad weather. It looks very good.
