Storm damage clean up. Did the garden survive?

What a great time for a new project! So excited to see what you come up with!

Thanks Ray for video. You always inspire me to plant something.

You have such a wonderful attitude about the storm damage. We had a huge ice storm several years ago and our eight oak trees took major damage and our roof had to be replaced from the limbs breaking and hitting our roof. Literally looked like a tornado went through our garden. I lost quite a few mature plants and the garden looks different now. You have done so much work and hope your neighbors get their tree removed soon so you can get everything repaired. Once again so glad your family and home are okay.

Thank you!

Very happy you and your family were fine. Heartbreaking to see that beautiful tree and your beautiful plants damaged. Along with the damage to your property. 😢 I do admire you for your positive strength.

Thank you so much!

We had a tornado come through our neighborhood and our damages looked similar. My roof was so damaged that the insurance co. replaced it. Always there are blessings coming out of these disasters, such as the help and concern that comes from neighbors, friends and family. Ray, you said it, the garden will grow back, thru the largess of our Lord.

Clean up looks Awesome.👍👍 Was that straight line winds that did the damage? I have to say I was sick about your flowers and all but man when I saw that huge tree in your pool my heart sank for you. I thought poor Mr. & Mrs. HG just had the dog gone liner fixed. 😂 It looked great in this video. Looking forward to your future videos. 👍

Yes it was just straight line wind around 100mph. It was crazy. I was so nervous pulling those trees out of the pool I’m not going to lie. I’m so glad that no damage was done to the liner. 😁

Oh my goodness! I’m glad you and your family are ok.

I have a question about the fountain you showed us how to make. What can I do about the poor water flow that has occurred? It was fine, but now only gives a low flow trickle. The birds still come and bathe. Yea!

[@HorticultureGeek]

I would check your pump to make sure it’s not clogged or turned down low. Most fountain pumps have a small switch to slow or speed up the water flow. So clean the pump and make sure that switch it turned up to fast flow. I would also check my pipes to make sure no clogs are in them. If that doesn’t help it might be time for a new pump.

@@HorticultureGeek Thanks. I'll give it a try!

In Ontario there is no insurance coverage unless it hits a building. Then only lifting tree off and rebuild of building is covered. Removal not included. We had 110 foot tree fall on garage July 1 terrible downdraft. Crew came in and in 5 hours had it all gone and cleaned up. Neat watching big equipment. Take care it's all good no one was hurt
