    Yep.
    The 2 growhouses next to the fallen one were undamaged. It's just in that particular spot under my kitchen window where the wind does a turbulence thing.
    I only put the darn thing up last week because I thought the winds were over for this year.

      Never test the depth of the water with both feet

      The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....

      Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

        We have a mini greenhouse. It is tied to the rainwater downpipe, because first day we put it up, it blew over.
        Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.

          It is walking distance, but with no shed/greenhouse I have to take everything with me, which then means I'm limited to using the car. It takes 15-20 minutes to walk there.

          Also, by the time I get in from work (5:30-45), have a play and give Bean a feed, then cook/eat dinner it's almost time to get him ready for bed (the wind-down). Then it takes another 10 minutes to get the car loaded and down to the plot...

          I could go there on my own straight after getting in from work, but I'd not see Hayden - and as I often don't get to see him in the morning becasue he's still asleep when I leave, I treasure the evenings with him.

          LadyWayne has walked down with him to bring sandwiches whilst I've been there of a weekend, but weekday evenings are proving tricky.

            Uh-oh. Bet the air turned blue when you saw that, Two_Sheds - utterly heartbreaking.

            Drill-plug-screw hook each side of mini greenhouse, attach bungee.
            It won't move.
            If you wish to take it down in winter unhook bungees, dismantle mini greenhouse.

              Clearly that's a bad idea - how on earth is LW going to be doing the digging and weeding when she's sat on a chair?

                How lucky Bean is to have a daddy who wants to treasure every minute with him.
                When he is older he will be able to come down with you and 'help' with the plot, my son used to love gardening with me when he was a toddler.
                He is starting to take an interest again now he is 18 which is lovely and walks round to the plot and carrys all the heavy gear for me to save my bad back.
                When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. ~Author Unknown
