I posted a picture of the new growth on this a few days ago, its looking in a sorry state now. Hopefully it will pick back up 🤞

Mine looked like that yesterday, it looks like a different plant today with the milder weather. Yours will do the same I’m sure 🤞👍

That gives me hope Jane. Even some of the heuchera look terrible, it's always the purple ones that seem to be the worst. @pelly

It’s been a harsh week or two but it’s surprising how resilient most plants are 👍🤞 @DeborahBanks

My heuchera look abysmal too. Fingers crossed they all start to rejuvenate with the milder weather 🤞🤞🤞

Angela I remember mine did last year too and they bounced back so I'm hopeful @italydiva

That’s good to know. I love heuchera and it would be so sad if I lost them

This has put a big spurt of growth on since I planted it back out again under the fuchsia hedge.

New growth. I'm sad to see the pictures of the wind blown fallout to your gardens. So far I've been quite lucky with just a few pots over. I just tried to go out to see if I could start another no dig bed but it's too windy, wet and cold. I'm supposed to be having surgery on Thursday so I wanted to get as much done while I still can. 😬

I think today has to be a rest up day, good luck for Thursday, I hope your surgery is not too serious

Thanks @sadieberg no it's just gallbladder removal, I've been on a waiting list for a year. I am expecting to go on Thursday and get postponed again as I have the never ending cough and cold that's doing the rounds, we'll see if it actually goes before then. Thanks Elaine yep theres lots of seagulls battling the elements over the sea. @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

If you can have keyhole surgery like I had a couple of years ago, you will be back in your garden straight away👌 I think you have to milk it for a couple of days though, just to be waited on 🤗
