I am in Denver and like Lisa had a major hail storm June 1 which wiped out all my gardens. I think we have had at least 9 minor hail storms as well this season ( snow too on May 22), but that one took out my roof, deck, fences, porch furniture and caused 90K damage so far. I replanted some tomatoes but willed the tomato "stick"s that were left back to life since I had started them from carefully selected seed-many from MMMM. Though the plants are behind, my tomatoes ( 90 of them!) are doing super well. I never thought they could recover as well as they have. I can grow most any variety here, but try not to do too many late season tomatoes since we can get Sept frosts. Try whatever sounds interesting to you! Don't be overly intimidated by the altitude or hail. Cherries are great because they are early and prolific. You are assured some bounty with them. Good Luck!
