*Stormforce~beka* Anything you can break, like plant pots (not plastic) , plates, cups, bricks, you name it, I suspect you might have a better chance if you put it in a pot, given that we are due to see more rain over the next 5 days or so. A friendly garden centre might have some broken pots, you only need a little if you put it in a pot to try and bring it on.

Do a quick test, select a twig of lavender bend it, if it breaks then could well be dead, but if it bends and doesn't snap there's a fair chance it's slow in getting its act together. Lavender is quite hardy temperature wise, so I'd not really think the cold has killed , more like the excess of rain. JTAY has given you the good info.

Morning All, anybody notice that Spring still wants to follow the wet winter, with today's rainfall that is 4 out 5 days with measurable rain? Daily rain totals 11.3 mm on day 1 11.8 mm on day 2 09.9 mm on day 4 With today adding to this. Yesterdays Met Office video did suggest this happening, as shown here, whilst commented it might be heavy showers, they did highlight it, getting the position of it possibly too far south: However, the same was stated on todays video, which almost suggests they didn't review the updated scenario, as they still stating "heavy showers", this is continual rain, not showers, so got to give them a black mark for not updating their forecast for today. This radar shot doesn't suggest showers, that plain old rainfall: Moving on, the overnight low of 3.7°C at: 01:00 has managed to haul itself up to 5.8°C, RH97% and a light breeze from the N. From Above, the coastal rainfall showing nicely. On Golden sands, wet suit weather..

Morning All, so Spring has a 100% wet start, a good way to follow a wet winter! The overnight low of 0.5°C at: 06:04 has risen to 5.8°C, RH87% with a light breeze in from the SW. From Above, the radar confirms the partially cloudy start this morning along the coast. On Golden sands nice patches of blue sky

Beka when they are this large and bigger you probably don't want hail. Having sat inside a brand new jeep that was pounded by large hail, it ended up with every panel beaten in, + a very mutilated windscreen. Great fun though! As to the car the rental guy commented "Got caught in the hail didya?". I suspect it was sold off quickly.
