This is an account of my gardening, now on the prairie of NE Iowa. I used to live closer to the Mississippi River in another county. I formerly lived in Northern CA, in the Coastal Range of Mountains, a completely different climate. I used to garden at a friend's farm there. I recently purchased a home with some vacant land and will transform it into a large, new garden in 2020. Come and garden with me through the seasons in NE Iowa. I'll show you how to do it!

Severe Storms
Yesterday we had bad storms here. I wanted the rain, but not destruction. We got pounded by heavy rain for a long time. Our garden survived okay, and it got the water it was desperate for. To our west, in West Union they got hit by 70+mph winds, plus hail that was baseball or tennis ball in size, about 4" diameter. We drove there for lunch today and took pics of the damage. Many trees were downed or damaged with limbs ripped off. And this house was badly damaged, too. We saw metal roofs ripped loose on outbuildings, and even the ditch weeds were laying flat, all pounded down.
