Yesterday strong winds

[hamsterhead]

Good Afternoon

Anyone else lose anything in the strong winds yesterday? I got home to find that my two "blow aways" were lying on their sides and had knocked over a lot of plants. Fortunately there was nothing in the blow aways themselves but it was probably my fault for leaving the door open.

We've got tree branches and stuff down: my sunflowers & sweetcorn were knocked over in last week's gales

my lawnmower cover is in a tree

Lots of apples off the tree before their time, and quite a few pots blown over - BUT THE TENT IS STILL WHERE I LEFT IT!!!

What strong winds??

[Florence Fennel]

I have 3 blowaways that are weighed down by stones/sandbags/anything heavy I can find on the bottom shelves. Lose the shelf space, but not the blowaway!

I read that as "my lawnmower is in a tree" I did a double take. I should really stop speed reading.

What on earth are blowaways?

[nomis]

Yes!

Our hops support canes all blew over. Fortunately nothing damaged and all is now happy again.

Blowaways are the small "greenhouses" with a plastic cover usually 3 to 5 tiers. They are good for small gardens.

They are nicknamed blowaways for the fact that they have a habit of blowing away in a stiff breeze!!

They are still very useful though!

Lost 2 sheets of polycarbonate out of my GH, snapped 2 sweetcorn, and dislodged a load of green toms from my baskets

our pollyhaus (4x2x2 meters) is very carefully trenched into the ground all the way round, buried a good 8 inches under. Touch wood, no problems.

i grow my veg in containers and the wind managed to blow over my tomatoes, courgettes and chillis. luckily only a few toms got knowcked off, everything else was still in one piece.

What strong winds??

I wondered that too - looks like we escaped more than a stiff breeze round here, was much windier Bank Holiday weekend.
