Hi Elaine, will do, planted but I am sure we will lose some with the wind. I have had to cover my butternuts with cloches because we have a very exposed site and everything is getting bashed to death. We had to put up a wind break round the broad beans which are at the moment really doing well, but the blessed wind is blowing off all the flowers.
It is a very drying East wind blasting across the plot
We were supposed to have rain today but so far nothing has come of it.
Plumpudding we look to the East from our plot in the very distance and the sky is very very black so that must be what it was. It gets so depressing when you spend ages nurturing the plants only to get them blasted to death with either rain or wind or in your case hail stones.
We had to put our butternuts, pumpkins and courgettes to bed last night, and again tonight. Today my OH has started to plant my sunflowers all 45 plus of them. I know, I know I got carried away but I like sunflowers 
I just forgot how many I had already planted. My OH is not impressed. I dare not tell you how many marigolds I have sown.....
