This is the second time we've had hail this winter. It seldom hails in Cape Town - it is rare enough that people will talk about it at work the next day, or post photos of it on Facebook. (Much like I am posting mine on this blog!).
We are fortunate that Cape Town's hail is never bad enough to damage the garden. The individual hail particles are small, seldom more than 5mm across and the hail does not last very long either. It quickly melts away again within a few hours, causing no damage to plants or flowers.

Hail in the flowerbed. The orange flowers are Gazania 'Kontiki Orange', which flowers right through the year
Hail on our Green Peppers.
