I have lost all of my 6 lavenders, a cordyline, a white Hydrangea (which i only bought last year), ditto a young olive tree which i thought would be ok in the unheated GH all winter, 5 young strawberry plants, and all of my fuschias - which i manage to kill every winter & MIL kindly grows me new ones from cuttings to replace them every year!

1 lavender, 2rosemary, 3 geraniums, 1 lovage, 2 bay trees [baby ones], and 6 strawberries.
I didn't lose a partridge in a pear tree though
and my accidentalpeach/nectarine is in flower, I've never seen them before, they're really pretty little flowers...

Having been home a couple of days and looked properly around the place it appears I have lost:
That loving feeling
A walnut tree (gutted)
A grape vine that my friends cut down without realising when they were cutting my grass
Two gooseberry bushes in pots that I was waiting for my fruit garden to get into order
LOADS of strawberry plants and runners.
Ah wellBob Leponge

My strawberry grape vine - planted last autumn - but that might be as much to do with our cold, sticky clay soil or the fact that I had let it dry out in its pot once too often - as the weather. It's funny how on the opposite plot a completely neglected vine in even wetter soil seems to have thrived for years.......

Even a 6 inch high overly described walnut sapling would be better than the stick that currently occupies the place of the old walnut tree.
Really appreciate the kind offer LL, address has been PM'ed.
Man, I love this place!!Bob Leponge
