Alp did you see the pine marten too? I'm mesmerised

 

What a mess!! Battered, broken, uprooted ....you name it, we have it

How's is it with you all?

 

You seem to have been lucky @fat controller. We've had no let up today at all, had to come to the aid of our Acer a short while ago

 

You mean stoat? Or did they talk about the two? I was mesmerised by everything! You know me. It's a beautifully made programme. Just love Martin's passion. Just such a lovely programme.

 

It was soooo windy that it's just unbelievable. All the branches of my trees are flapping. One tomato plant was snapped right near the base because it was on the forefront of the wind direction. Apart from that, it's OK. I hope your acer is OK, @Upsydaisy

 

So do I @alp

 

I think this is my first dahlia of the year

Could be Mambo

After shielding the sun, I think I have had better result with my Samsung

 

Lovely pics @alp.

One of my Dahlias flowered last week and now has 3 lovely blooms on it, thankfully it was able to survive the wind today......miracle !!

 

Mines not even come up yet

 

I planted them north facing, they get around one hour of sun in the morning if there lucky at this time of year, they have sprung up the last few years I will have to keep a eye out for them.

 

@shiney Yeah! Glad that you like campanula pink octopus too. Unique and interesting, don't you think!? Amazing details ... Stunning photos, @shiney

@martin-f I have mine in a south facing border and it benefits from the west setting sun - a spot so warm that someone else's cat has booked that spot for his sunbathing. Can't you plant it in a sunnier spot?
