We have had more than our share of hail storms already this season here in the Springs. In order to have any kind of successful garden at all, it is almost imperative to have some kind of cover for your garden...not only to protect it from the hail, but also to keep the little critters out. We have chosen to make our cover out of shade screen...the same kind that you use to repair your window or door screens. You can find it at Lowe's or Home Depot. I would love to have a screened enclosure for my garden that looks really pretty, but my dear husband doesn't really see the need for that as long as it serves its purpose, which it pretty much has. Occasionally, we will get a bird or a squirrel that has found its way under the screen, but then I just go out and chase them out. The funny thing is that once they get in there, the can't seem to find their way out, even with the door wide open. It usually takes awhile to chase them out...thank goodness this does not happen very often.
