The fuchsias and Pelargoniums in the greenhouse look dead, whether they'll grow again from the roots, remains to be seen  ::)
Same for the Agapanthus pots outside, who knows. Surprisingly the little olive tree still looks happy - just shows you never know what's going to die....

The pelargoniums in my greenhouse look dead but oleander ... wait and see.
No burst pipes fortunately:  neighbour had one but it was a long exposed run

In the greenhouse,unheated, all my aeoniums, seedling amaryllis, sure a few overwintering fuschia have gone & the pelargoniums. All my own fault for not bringing them into the conservatory before Christmas  :mad:

My sage herbs have turned a very sad colour so I’m unsure if they will recover.
Keep digging

Too early to say - my garden is only starting to reappear after more than a foot of snow Thursday/Friday!  :ohmy:

My soil is very sandy and therefore well-drained, so not expecting any disasters.

I'm sure the local garden centres will be more than happy to sell me any replacements if needed.  ;)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Lost two Knockout roses that we have had for about 20 years. 

Vegetables, I lost and have had to re-plant carrots, beetroot, peas, and had a lot of damage to spinach and some damage to certain varieties of lettuce. 

Interestingly, I lost every Windsor Broad Bean plant - except one. It is growing well and blooming like crazy right now.  I'm wondering if I should allow any seeds produced to fully mature and sow them next year?  No pods yet.

Lots of Fuchsias, and also the Hozelock splitter which diverts water at the end of a hose! One branch just fell off, but I've stuck it and will find out soon if it's working, or do I have to pay another £16.00 for a new one...

I've given up on the geraniums, which sometimes get through the winter and start earlier than the others in the Spring!

Worth remembering that in 'the old days' we used to worry about the car freezing up without enough antifreeze, and that really was a huge concern...

My lemon tree in a pot. Had it wrapped up in the greenhouse, but too cold I think. I was trying to overwinter some chillies but they are as dead as a dodo.
Storm Otto did for my brassica cage, but it can be repaired.

At the moment the mojo as every time the sun comes out I think "now's the time to look at sowing things", stop for a cuppa and turn round to find that show/frost/wind and rain has come about whilst back turned.  :mad:
