Rose-Hip Farm

Micro-farming along Tornado Alley
(Norman, Oklahoma)

Hail, Hail...

Hunkering down before dawn, we listened to small hail bouncing off the greenhouse. At first light my first foray into the mud was a relief. So far, so good on storm damage. Not that I would notice one more broken tree branch. 

Once I've feed & watered the rabbits, I might have the nerve to look at the lettuce garden. It's tucked into a sheltered spot. Overhanging oak branches, fenced to filter wind. But, this is Oklahoma... the weather is only getting started.  

Tomorrow is the first Norman Farmer's Market of the year. This early, it's mostly bedding plants. All day today, decision after decision... you go, you stay. I get too attached to plants.
