I wish the wind would stop too, I'd like some sleep tonight!! The only reason my sunflowers are still up is because they are actually tied to the back hedge/fence so can't physically go sideways!!
Punkdoc, you have another PM, I should have told you earlier
Never got around go planting the sunflowers in the ground but didn't seem to have bothered them. I've picked them up a few times OL but obviously also not got around to tying them very securely! Starting a new trend...
My biggest one in a pot by the back door is still in the kitchen, still too windy and it will break. My other back door ones have blown over too. Even the tumbling toms in a great big pot got blown over twice!! It's just so rubbish isn't it.....hate wind!!
About to do dinner but just having a quick break and a catch up. Dried up here this afternoon and was windy so I got out and cut the grass and edged it when there was a brief interlude after work and taking daughter out - before the rain came back on. Had to tie in some of the sweet peas that had struggled to stay attached to their canes but not too bad apart from that. Despite sheltering the first canna flower that was about to open, the wind decimated it
Such is life. We've mainly just had lots of rain, so lucky compared to some.
That's a nice thread Daniel and 'the magazine' have started for ID-ing plants. I don't need to use it though - I've planted everything that's in this garden myself, apart from a few easily identifiable shrubs!
Veg bake sounds good - do you mainly have root veg and things like toms, broccoli and cauli, and a cheese sauce KEF? I like that kind of meal but the girls wouldn't, so not much point making it just for me.
Off to see what else is going on
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Bekkie will tell you if it tastes ok.
Hope all of you are well with no wind or rain damage.
