On top of this long period of depressing wet and cold weather, today, there came by a horrible devastating hail with ice stones measuring between 1 and 2 cm diameter. It only lasted about 10 minutes, but that was enough to cause a lot of damage to my garden. Specially the plants with large and soft leaves suffered the most. Some look so pitiful being all shredded up!

This is a scenery in July!!!
