    Supposed to be a fair amount of bluddy wind here tomorrow too. Very over it, can't get any farm work done in this weather.

      Tell me about it ! The wind when it blows through the lotty (which is most of the time) can bend trees virtually in half

        Broadbeans have been more on the deck than upright. Need to stand them up again tomarrow. Still it hasn't affected the crop and I have a ton of beans to pick tomorrow. First row sown is up at 4ft high with a couple of plants tipping 5ft. Never seen them grow so high before.

          Had to give up sowing any seeds outside today - wanted to plant some parsnips - really windy here on the south coast but sunny ish quite cloudy at times BUT no rain...so far.

            Be careful though! We have had very light(ish) wind here and it still managed to snap one of my broad bean plants. I have repaired it with string and tape and it seems to have picked back up (it wasn't fully snapped, some of the stem was still supported)

              Why is it when it says there's going to be wind it's always right? Rain or sun or snow you can never be sure, but yep if it says wind, there'll be wind

                Was a bit windy wasn't it. The wind managed to snap one of the siver birch I planted a few years back.

                Broad beans are still stading though!

                  short peas are laying on the ground but luckily the tall peas are still upright as they had much more support!
