Last Thursday night the garden has a pretty miserable time.

We had winds of up to 85 miles per hour in this part of Wales

Together with torrential rain.

So … the garden got rather flattened.

I could not bear to look at it on Friday and I went to hide in my studio.

Saturday I spent the day hauling all the plants back into an upright position.

And dumping those that were beyond repair into the compost.

All things considered – the damage could have been much worse.

We had no trees, chimney pots or roof tiles flying across the garden

Just Tomato plants, Dahlias, my lovely, lovely Digitalis Stewartii,

(sob)

Plus every spare pot and seed tray that hadn’t been put away

Ended up in the pond.

Sunday and today, loads more rain turning the ground into a swamp

So all the upright plants have now fallen over again.

Anyway – after a few days hiding in my studio, (which sadly has been neglected for over a year now)

It is now brilliantly clean and tidy!

(The studio that is – not the garden)

And the plants will mostly come back again next year
