Overnight Friday into Saturday morning we had what counts as rainfall these days here as 0.2mm (0.01in) fell at sometime in the night. I couldn't tell there'd even been a shower at breakfast time and I did think it was a bit odd that my rain gauge was showing some rainfall, even if it was the smallest amount it measures. A closer inspection of our hostas confirmed that we had indeed had a light shower.
We paid a visit to the allotment on Friday to do some watering and check for storm damage. I was surprised where the worst damage had occurred. I expected our cardoons to be the worst hit but they escaped relatively unscathed. The worst damage was to our newly planted out leeks as the wind had blown the weed control fabric onto the seedlings. The wood chip holding down the fabric had been blown off leaving the fabric at the mercy of the gale force wind.
The video below shows the extent of the damage to our allotments and cherry tree in the garden.
