Blueberries were damaged on the bush. |
Blueberry branches were broken off and blueberries littered the ground. |
Apples were knocked from trees and the ones that remained were bruised. |
Swiss chard. |
Broccoli. |
The hail carved divets out of the broccoli heads. |
Even tough cabbage didn't escape injury. |
The grower plans to remove all the damaged leaves from this cabbage and sell the core. That means increased labor and reduced yield. |
Doug Jones of Piedmont Biofarm shot this image of his transplants after the storm. They were outside being hardened off before planting. |
Doug removed the hail and brought the plants into the greenhouse. |
