  • Greenhouse + wind = kite


    We have had some very windy days lately. And I have finally put up my bargain Morrisons placci greenhouse, bought last year when on sale. I was sooooo proud of myself for putting it all together on my own, although as it is in a very protected corner against the house wall I just pegged it down rather than use the rope provided.
    Mistake..the east wind did some really wild stuff and I came back from doing horse to find the back door blown open (it sometimes doesn't catch properly and dopy forgot to lock it) the wind howling through the house, the dog cowering in the sitting room and my greenhouse blowing round the garden, having tipped up everything that was in it. There were plants all over the patio and even on the garden. Took me ages to sort it all out. And now the greenhouse has been securely tethered to the downspout, the eyes in the wall for climber wires, pinned with bigger pins, and weighed down with a load of bricks.
    Overkill? Who cares.
    And yes, 99% of the plants survived so I'm laughing now.
