My brassicas got very bashed and bruised my the hail too, I planted them out yesterday and they don't look too bad now. But I noticed even my cardoons' leaves have holes in them and they are tough as old boots!
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

I've heard distant thunder quite a bit (unusual this early in the year), but nothing actually happened here. Just showers and the odd flurry of hail.
