The first day of summer



The first day of summer 2011 brought a huge torrential rain. Tuesday June 21 Freeland got about 5 inches in 1.5 hours. In the flash of lightening Roger saw the garden flooded like a lake. As the water rushed toward the storm drain it gave insight to the record flooding in the United States this spring. The next morning we accessed the damage. Here are some pictures. Most things recovered as soon as it dried up, but a few vegetables had to be sacrificed. Lesson learned, plant at the top of the hill.
