    Some poor broad beans that struggled through the winter and were laden with flowers have been snapped in two. Garlic sitting in puddles, must rudely be rotting. Fruit trees looking a bit battered but hanging in.

      no damage and no extras or lesses...I'm quite surprised by that.
      I suppose if I let the garden look less like an allotment or a hoarders paradise, nothing would ever blow over anyway

        (April 29th)
        (Plastic) tool shed ripped apart.
        Put back together with wood and screws - actually stronger now.
        Slight damage to second garden fence, now repaired.
        Strangely, the plastic containers of bird feed not touched.

        Update:
        (April 30th...)
        The tool shed was NOT stronger and had to be fixed AGAIN...

          Nothing but blue skys and gentle breeze all weekend.

          Sorry to hear of the damage some of you have had. From what I've read, you've had the sort of weather is typical of here.
          Sometimes you just have to scratch that itch and get dirt under your finger nails.

            2 blow aways blew away- with seeds and seedlings. And yes they were very much weighted down.

            Will be asking for help with IDing my various surviving brassicas later please!

              Well I had to rescue my car from under large branches that were snapped off the huge pine tree next door. Luckily the car was saved by their fence and my phone line which must have taken some of the weight until it snapped at the allotment things look OK apart from some broad beans which are totally flattened - I'll prop them up and hope for the best! its the amount of standing water I'm worried about as the place is totally drenched.

                Grump...just been up to the plot (the rain has only just let up enough to venture out without my SCUBA gear)...

                The wind has removed the roof from my shed (it was an inherited Franken-shed, made up of about 3 or 4 donor sheds) and taken a wall down too

                Luckily no other damage - but it may be time for a new shed...

                In more positive news, the spuds are up and the broad beans, so something likes the water...but thats quite enough for now!
