    The fencing brought down by the winds, it's the only bit of fencing we have as all our boundaries are hedging. I hate it but it's in my nursery area so out of sight from the rest of the garden.

    It's being replaced in a couple of weeks time.:blue thumb:

        Sorry to see your broken fence @Upsydaisy. I'm sure you'll be pleased when it's repaired.

          @Upsydaisy my hellebores are just starting to grow the stems apart from 2 of them. I hope that you get your fence done soon.

                  It is a very volcanic island and the cacti can get pieces of volcanic ash caught in them

                  They have their own special variety of grape and the vines are grown in hollows in the ash and short walls built around them to protect them from the wind

                              It's amazing that the Plumerias are flowering in the Canaries but not in the Caribbean :scratch:
