Go on.. what have you lost in the storm. My blowaways lived up to their name and both are now in the garage. All the wee plants inside have been rescued and are sitting low down on the path getting rained on. Hopefully that will make up for the upset! Don't think I've lost anything at home. Haven't been up to the lottie though :(

    MY PLASTIC GREENHOUSE HAS HAD A BATTERING BUT OKAY FOR NOW. (sorry about caps on) I secured it with large pots and wheelie bin but cover trying to come off

    Wind has died down where I am still windy but not as bad, we did get a little rain
  • My cold frame from Lidl blew apart despite having put heavy stones on it to weigh it down. Then one of the bits of plastic tore as I was gathering all the pieces up to put in the garage. One cucumber plant snapped low on the stem but everything else is safe in the windowsill or in the garage. The chickens are in the garage too - we moved the whole coop in there.

    I lost a branch on my raspberry plant and most of my runner bean canes have taken a battering, luckily the plants are too small to suffer !

    Is it likely to last much longer?

    I am still at work so I don't know whatI have lost :( We have a huge Apricot plant (not sure of the actual name big, green with apricot coloured bells that grow from each stem) and it has turned out beautiful this year, I am hoping that this is still in tacked however I have a feeling it wont be :(

    My very tall tomato plants the wooden growhouse fell on them 2 are ok the other 4 have snapped in half have taped them up will see how they do. I feel a little sad about it they had just come in to flower.
    I would like to be a glow-worm.
