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 rain0 -
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.0

The wind has been very bad for the last few days really stong gusts and non stop .. trying to take the dogs for a walk is hard work..

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?0 -

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
