How is it with you?

East Coast Suffolk is a tad breezy and wet.

Calming down now on Arran but very windy and wet earlier today..some
ferries cancelled. I was glad of the good watering for the garden
though.

Hebe "Great Orme" is having a lie down :-( and will need a stake.

Leeds not too bad. Rain most of the day, a bit blustery, bright sunny
periods in the evening.

Did have a lot of rain, though, about an inch - I had to go around
emptying the trays under my pots.

Very blowy here in West Wiltshire, but the rain seems to be coming in
a series of (often heavy) showers rather than continuous spells of rain.

... And here in Sussex.

Tree surgeons have been taking down some seriously big trees in our
garden, just feet from the conservatory people putting glass into the
roof of the new conservatory... They did decide today only to clear
away what they had taken down yesterday...

I forgot to mention that the conservatory is the neighbour's... He has
already complained about a few branches hitting his buddleia - can't
bear to think what if anything hits his new conservatory roof!
So far, so good, though ...

Hi,

the good news is that the lawn weed&feed has definitely been watered in.

The bad news is that the Wisteria is coming loose from the wall and flapping
about like a very flappy thing and the outdoor tomatoes are taking something
of a beating.

I am debating bringing the olive tree indoors since the supporting cane has
broken once and the tree is also flapping around like a bendy flappy thing.
I know a sapling bends with the gale etc. but I don't want it to snap in the
severe gale :-(

How is it with you?

We've lost a silver birch but it does look as if it was rotten inside - sad
because it's only about 10 years old. Other, larger things are standing up
to it so far but smaller plants are taking a real beating. And all the
ferns in the lanes have been flattened to the horizontal. ;-(
Things that seem to have been most damaged are those in 'corners' where the
wind has got in but can't get out!
