I must remember to be thankful even when times are tough. The garden has been damaged, but it will come back in time. Some plants are getting tiny shoots and that is a real blessing.

Yes the storm was really bad and it will take time for things to recover, but at least our house is okay for now, until we can get the roof replaced. The builders here are run off their feet after this event!

But this post is awful. Can’t imagine such terrible hail and rain to do so much damage. You must feel very upset and disappointed after all the work you put into your section. Do hope insurance covers most of your damage and losses.

I am sure insurance will cover you for this - what a lot to clean up. I am thinking that perhaps as things warm up & as spring kicks in, alot of your things will recover. I am not sure if this would be the case if we were going in to winter & cold - but perhaps the spring sunshine will help things to come back to life. I sure hope so . xxJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08301647145550214950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743532158600929042.post-42037706700660588832022-09-27T07:58:00.187+09:302022-09-27T07:58:00.187+09:30Hi Cheryl.

I went to see a lady that grows and sells herbs in a nearby town on the weekend, so now I am thinking about making it a herbal garden because hers was so inspiring. I could combine veggies and herbs, we will see. I have to work out the best way to dispose of the lawn area, am thinking of covering and smothering with something. Spring is very late this year, we are nearly at the end of September and it is still cold. We need some nice sunshine to warm everything up for growth.<br />Have a lovely week,<br />xTaniaTaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743532158600929042.post-24411333294024770882022-09-27T07:38:44.851+09:302022-09-27T07:38:44.851+09:30Hi Tania Sorry to see all the damage your place to...Hi Tania Sorry to see all the damage your place took from hail storm.
