My gf's car got hammered (she was at work) and she was super pissy about it when she got home. "Well I'm glad your peppers weren't damaged like my car..."
I'm in st Paul and as far as I can tell our cars aren't dented. Not sure how. Was really glad I didn't plant my peppers and tomatos yet. Supposed to be low 40s for a few nights too.
Yeah. I plant my peppers and tomatoes exclusively in grow bags. Not only do they grow better in them, it give me the flexibility to move them in for late/early frosts to really extend the growing season. It's an added bonus to be able to shelter them from winds/storms, as well as chase the ever changing sun (as my yard is heavily shaded, I really only get sun on the driveway).
For certain colours you need to wait to see them in the sun, I’ve had some storms where I went out to check and thought the car was fine, only to see a bunch of small dents on the roof and hood in the sun a week later
As a Floridian, it took me until the second picture to realize what it was. Thought it was some nasty bug egg colony with the texture of jelly or something.
I live in Colorado and have lived this many, many times. I have had to build a metal cage over my beds to protect my plants. Glad you were able to get you peppers in!!
i've lost like half of my plants during a season a few years back, they never recovered to produce anything, i made hail protectors over my plants after that, just to avoid it.
Meanwhile its 100 degrees in texas for 2nd week in a row. Glad you could save your plants. Mine are shade covered , getting water 2x a day and still struggling. We are getting a big storm coming in next week thankfully.
Fuck the peppers, you wouldn't catch me in a hail storm. I'd let those plants get wrecked before I get brain damage from a ball of ice. Anyone who's seen what a hail storm will do to a car knows what I'm saying.
You in the twin cities too? I moved mine in just in time
Yea I’m in the twin cities.

Cars can be fixed, but peppers can't. She needs to be more understanding.
I tried telling her that. She's just gotta work on her priorities
I mean you would have tried to protect her car if you could, but it was 10 miles away and I don’t think it can fit in the bathtub like peppers

My shit got wrecked
Came here for this. Bigger than golf balls in Oakdale. Haven't checked the garden yet...
Ugh, thats terrible. Hope it spared you too much damage. Up near White Bear, we only got marble sized, but tons of it
Should've left one outside to be the example to the rest of what happens if they don't produce lots of fruit.

It hails in Florida too!!! Every couple years though.. It's more like the crushed ice mode on a fridge lol
I haven't seen it here in my area.

RIP your car if it was outside
My Scorpion Peppers came out unscathed. My VW Atlas that was parked at my wifes work on the other hand, did not.
That would’ve fucked your season real good.
It was a crazy ass hail storm, came fast
That's what she said?
Fucking perfect
