What is your weather like today?

We've had torrential rain and gales all day - and, my ceanothus is uprooted
I said it would be that, didn't it ?

And, a photinia
These shrubs are only about 7 or 8' tall, not exactly towering giants
They're both in the back and that's where's hit when the south westerlies come slamming up the channel

Gale force winds, monsoon horizontal rain, a lake formed at the corner of the street where a drain was blocked & everyone's bins & rubbish have been blown down the road. Went out in my wellies & parka over my pyjamas first thing in the dark & collected 2 bags of the neighbours' rubbish from our garden & the road in front to put it in our bin before the binmen came. Sleet & hailstones this afternoon followed by sunshine & more gales, everything in back garden now listing to the left!
Hope everyone is safe, some nasty scenes on the news of roofs blowing off & trees blowing over, just the odd fence panel gone around here.

If you get sucked up in a tornado Rosie click your heels together 3 times whilst saying 'there's no place like home, there's no place like home...' ;D
Stay inside & stay safe, hope you've got everything fastened down outside!

No no, that one's happily in the front garden - all nice an' sheltered
This one's in the back (C. conch), all toppled and unhappy

Well, all I can say is that you've managed to replant uprooted shubs before - so go on, have a try. You've nothing to lose, and everything to gain.

NO, G, i haven't, they've all been taken out and replaced with something else. I can't ever get the roots back down in properly and they've had to go
