my flooded garden

Oh, what a shock to come home to! TG your house is okay and that the mud and muck just stayed in the garden. I remember thinking how lovely to have a stream in the garden and then to have this happen. I hope you will be able to salvage some things and get your garden back together.

 

Sorry about your garden. Mine just had about 3" of flooding at the bottom and the pond flooded too. And I've clay loam soil but it drained away the next day. Hope your house is ok, I'm glad I live where I live no flooding here even though the Mersey is on one side and the Dee on the other. Just a few huge bits of flooding on certain roads which flood all the time! due to blocked drains!!

 

That's just awful, I'm so sorry - I do hope it'll dry out okay.

 

Thank you guys for all your offering of plants and good wishes.i didn:t realise people carred so much...thanks again...daz

 

Yikes!!!!! How awful!!! But the main thing is you are all safe, and the house wasn't flooded.

Did you enjoy your holiday, by the way??

You will probably be surprised at what survives, but we will all send you replacements for what you've lost.

(and to think I had to get the hose out last Thursday, as everything was wilting in the garden!!!)

 

Oh no D&D!!! :eek: :eek: :(
I think I'd have cried the same amount again :( :(
Let us know how things progress...my Musas just thrown up some babies. Would you like them?? Let me know what to do re -cutting 'em off,PM me your address and I'll send them on. You'd be doing me a favour as my garden really isn't suitable for them anyway....far too windy

 

so sorry to see that, how terible for you, I could hear the rumble of thunder a few times in that clip :( very sad when you put so much into your garden

 

So sorry to see how your idyllic stream has turned into a swamp. How are things looking today?

The river here in Dumfries floods regularly into houses and businesses - it must be heartbreaking. The rain is torrential here as I type, where is it all coming from?

I will gladly send you plants too. Perhaps you could open a thread with a plea for plants - we can let you know what we could offer etc.

Do let us know how things are.

 

daz and debs

Thankyou all for your kind regardes at least it wasnt the house.It has receded a bit today just keeping our fingers crossed for the next 2 days rainfall wont be to heavy.Thankyou everyone who offered us plants.The locals say it only happens every 50 years so thats good.Thanks again

 

I am so sorry for you Daz & Debs, I would have just sat down and cried.
Not the best of home comeings. :( :(

 

Thanks banana man.The gunnera has been under water for 3 days now do you think it will survive mate?

 

It started to dry up nicely but now its raining again dam weather.Im supprised to see most of the plants look ok. The only plants that i have lost are musa sikki.Lillies.musa ice cream. and some trailing plants.How ever the weather for saturday looks pritty bad so i got my fingers crossed..daz

 

By lost do you mean washed away ? What about the cordy on the other side ? The gunnera will be fine mate as long as its still there. You had better prepare for more rain forecast. :(
