The last day of spring brought hail and an end to the garden anxiety I have felt when storm warnings are announced. After over a decade gardening in this area, it felt liberating to just watch and listen to the movement of the storm as it passed over.
As expected, the hostas and the rhubarb took substantial hits; however, the native plants, for the most part, remained unbothered. The Cornus canadensis I took photos of this past Wednesday still bore their ivory blooms. Even the Gymnocarpium dryopteris retained its lacy tips. And the freshly trimmed rhubarb stocks are ready for some baking tomorrow. Happy summer!
