Title: Storm Damage
Post by: mrs bouquet on May 04, 2021, 11:42
I hope none of you suffered from the winds and rain last.   Lots of things misplaced around the garden for me, but the worst is a conifer tree in a large terracotta pot, which has blown over and cracked.    Mrs Bouquet

I have a couple of Cerinthe which I planted the other day that are MIA, blown completely away.  All my Paeonies also need restaking, but thankfully no real damage done, just everything looking much happier after the good drink they got.

This is why the advice is to tie down or store away loose objects that can be blown around in high winds.

We had the wind which rearranged a lot of stuff in the garden but not a lot of rain.
