Last week Friday we had a severe hail storm. It was the second one in a matter of a week and a half.
It was so severe that most of the nails on my tin roof were loosen and my house leaked like a reed basket.
We were left with no power for 48hours and in my case with no water as we use an electric pump.
As a result my vegetable garden was completely flatten, months of work and pleasure I took watching them grow was gone in a matter of minutes.
How are we going to manage planting if the weather doesn't support us!
It has been raining for two months and a half now, almost every day and the temperature is still between 9 to 15 degrees c at this time of the year.
Climate change is being felt strongly, meanwhile a solution is needed to still grow food.
What to do?
