we had thunder and lightning at one stage today its hard to know whats coming next.

I taught we were bad with some wind Gismo, but with thunder and lighting your area was a lot worse.Some day we will all all be suprised with a heatwave.When,it comes though is not known.

I wont hold my breath on that one but I will be dreaming of having a fine day to sit out and enjoy all the hard work :O)

Yea - storm damage here too - mad because I only cut down a catmint on Thursday which was completely taking over and had I left it there, it would have stopped some of the damage.

I feel ur pain! the loss of the Lavatera branch, a whole shrub blew over on me last Winter, wind-rock broke it at the base. Replaced it there recently, they are such a great flowering shrub, showy and happy in the garden, aren't they?

Trouble comes in bucket fulls Mairin.Things will improve sometime.The weather might retire from attacking gardens here in Ireland and maybe even send on some sunshine.

They are indeed Janette.Lavatera is 1 of the most loved flowering shrubs here in the garden.App 4 months back 3 of them blew over in the garden here with heavy wind.Hard to replace old favourites in the garden like the Lavatera.
