this morning I found my beautiful ceanothus on its side this its roots in the air we have had so much wind and rain recently :angry: it looked unsteady last weekend so I got O.H to steak it up, but to no avail. it leaves a large gap behind. I had a lovely yellow lanten clematis growing though it which will servive, I pruned that right back a few weeks ago, now it will have nothing to ramble through Its too wet underfoot to remove the tree today, the lawn is like a swomp, so next weekend weather permiting we will have to get a saw out and chip what we can for mulch. sniff sniff. ![]() magz |

Thats always gutting Magz...........I am having to leave all my plants in my garden behind My weeping willow which despite all the wind and rain we have had in recent months is doing really really well
and I love my fir trees too-two recently have been up rooted by the winds we have had-I have just left them tho and hope that the next people in my house love the garden.Look at it this way-in the spring you can go to the garden centres and look for something to go in it's place

Its awful when these things happen, We lost our Eucalyptus Tree in the high winds, I was gutted as it was a gorgeous healthy tree and in the perfect spot, but now it just bare, did think about planting another but the same thing could happen again, and luckily with it being a massive tree it didnt hurt anyone or damage anything which is the main thing

thanks ladies, its so sad to see it lolling around on the ground, its raining again today, I shall plant another one or two ceanothus bushes there. The noise of buzzing bees on its flowers was a great thing to hear I have some other smaller shrubs underneath it that don't look too squashed so the gap will fill eventually. thats if the ivy and bloomin sycamore saplings dont go mad

What a shame, it was such a gorgeous colour too. Hope the wind and rain die down and let you get on with your gardening. |
