Morning All, seemingly another one of those, bit of everything days. The overnight low of 8.9°C at: 06:09 has climbed up to 12.2°C, RH89% and a light breeze in from the SSW, under partly cloudy skies. From Above the infrared view this morning picking out the bands of showers nicely Which on the radar looks something like this On Golden sands And to @*Stormforce~beka* The guys will be round shortly!

Morning All, it's one of those have everything days it seems. It's windy, overcast, no wait a brighter spell, no wait heavy drizzle now. The overnight low of 10.1°C at: 06:42, has hauled itself slowly up to 11.3°C, RH92% with a fresh breeze in from the SSW - W. A perfect day to remove any cobwebs with a walk along the pier.

Afternoon All, the main rain area has moved past now. The overnight low of 3.4°C at: 00:07 has risen to 11.3°C, RH97% and a light breeze from the SW. From Above the earlier (12:05) sat shot, shows the back edge of the main rain bearing cloud as it pulls away SE. Over a week away but who knows maybe it'll happen.

*Stormforce~beka* Have a read of the enclosed: Lavender Care - Downderry Nursery DOWNDERRY-NURSERY.CO.UK Lavender plant care including pruning advice. Its also worth looking at a high potash feeder, something like https://www.amazon.co.uk/Chempak-High-Potash-Fertiliser-Formula/dp/B00K6GWJCK/ref=sr_1_6?sr=8-6 To hopefully bring it on, make sure it's not going to get too much water in the the mean time. @jtay please feel free to shut me up if I am providing anything wrong in trying to resuscitate the sad looking lavender.

*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.
