Mary Lee,

I am so sorry to hear about the leak. OH NO!!

Great to have the rain..I certainly prayed for it...but I guess I should have specified that I did not want any hail with that rain? we got some golf ball plus sized hail about 5:10pm yesterday along with some in the middle of the night...3am. However, I read in our paper today that San Marcos got baseball sized hail that broke out everyone's car windshields and sunroofs that were parked at the Outlet mall. Oh my!! So thank the good Lord we did not get that big of hail. It is beginning to get light outside so I'm going to inspect my tomato babies as well as my new Honda Pilot for damage.

Mid March is when I wanted to plant my maters out, but alas, I grew them from seed and they were still not quite big enough until April 1. so I'm a bit behind the others in growth in our zone. oh well. If you'd like to see what the Earthbox does...I'll post a picture from April 3 and the other on April 18. I am hoping DH will buy me a few more of the EBs and so no more tilling and I'll have bigger, better plants.

Here is the one from April 3rd.
