Feeling a bit sad today. The pictures, I think, speak for themselves.
Not a very encouraging thing to see as soon as you step out of the door
Remains of the bamboo awning Geoff took hours to put up, lashed down with rope and chains to stop them flying off and decapitating someone
The awning has stripped the jasmine and is tangled up in the lemon tree
Plants have been slung about
The tomatoes have been blasted
I think this is what is left of the chilli plant pictured above
Not much left of the tall tomato plants, but the view is lovely
Scary stuff, but we are all in one piece, and will have it back looking lovely. It will just take time, patience and hard work.
Oh how sad . I really feel for you. x
Every year I think I should cut things back and be ruthless earlier in the season, but I don’t like to chop things down when they still look good. We really didn’t think the bamboo would come down like that. We’ll have to take down the wires that didn’t snap and roll what remains up until next spring, I think.
I’ll enjoy the work once I get into it, I’m sure.
Poor you. We got off lightly. 2 trees lost branches and the spider plant lost it’s pot when it fell but is still intact. Amazing that we are in one piece when you think that we live in a cravan half way up a mountain. The last major strorm. 5 years ago cast our first caravan over the edge. Luckily we were not in it.
It’s heartbreaking seeing such damage, but at least you’re safe 🙂
Oh what a shame! I know all the hard work that goes into your beautiful terrace garden. The plants will renew themselves I’m sure…it just seems such a waste. xx
