What's your weather - 2016

@silu .....sorry about your garden. Have a hug from me

I want to wish you a "happy" birthday too even though you don't feel very happy at the moment. I just hope the day improves as it goes on. If I lived nearer I'd bring my spade and help you with the mess.

 

Thanks for being so kind you lot. Neighbour along the road has appeared with his chainsaw to help with the fallen branches which is really kind of him. I've cracked open a bottle of fizzy wine and am about to go out to heave the cut up branches out of the way (with glass in hand!). After a few glasses I'll no doubt feel a bit better or won't care. Cheers.

 

I'm sorry to hear of the damage that's been done Silu, as you say we just don't expect it at this time of year. Yes, at times like this we feel like giving up but we know that once the shock has past and the tidying up has been done, we'll be back out there making new plans and getting to grips with new plants. That's what us gardeners do! Good luck!

Not the best of birthday's for you but I hope you can enjoy your day.

 

Saw as much snow last night here as I did all last winter. (which wasn't very much to be fair)

Opened the blinds and the door to let the dog out for her final toilette and found all my patio hangers covered in snow, so was ferrying them into the summerhouse for shelter at 1am.
The sweetpeas are in too big of a container to move, so they had to fend for themselves.

It's all melted away with some rain today, and nothing looks badly damaged or dead, so no where near as unlucky as poor Silu!

 

Sunny all day but still cold in the wind. 9C/48F

 

I can imagine how you must feel @silu . A Happy Birthday it isn't but I am wishing you one all the same.

I am not doing so well even here, two frosty nights have turned the new red Pieris tips brown.

Today has been cold and windy but with some sun. Max11c

 

I just read this - how unkind mother nature can be sometimes when you've worked so hard. You are quite entitled to a major moan. If I lived near to you I would have offered to help clear up.

 

It's cold but the sun is trying to shine. There's lots of dark ominous looking cloud about and rain is forecast for the middle of the day. Well it wouldn't be a Bank Holiday weekend without a bit of rain!

 

"trying to shine" perfectly convey the idea...it is the same here

 

Sunshine the lazy wind has moved along and the temperature isn't sunbathing weather, but, it is ... gardening weather

 

Wow @ARMANDII bet your head was pounding under that pressure

Here showers on and off with some glimpses of the yellow thing but that cold wind still there.
Not sun bathing weather just yet 7'c/46'f but on a happier note better weather on its way next week
