Thanks for that, Loz. I had lottie plans for Monday, but will try and do it this afternoon instead.

Thanks, now i've got make safe the garden stop things from blowing around and breaking my greenhouse.

Thankyou for that now hopefully i can try and make sure the greenhouse doesnt get trashed again, mind you its held together with ten tons of silicone sealer from the last wind so im not sure how long its going to last

No worries happy to help.

I am bringing all my veg in I have planted which is in the greenhouse but all the sides came out last weekend!!!!

Going down to the allotment to tie everything down and warn any neighbours

It's already very very windy here in Norfolk. I had an hour on the lottie this morning, but gave up - too cold and 'orrible. What a girl.

It was so cold on the lottie today I had to keep doing a daft little dance to warm up in between moving my strawberry plants. Rhythm isn't my strong point at the best of times, so I'm glad there was no-one else there to see!!!

I decided to carry on with my bark path in the front garden. See Flum chasing landscape fabric and narrowly avoiding the pond! I had to weigh it down with lump hammer, trowel, spade etc. Looking good now though. Could have picked a calmer day to do it!

After a blustery day ( OH chose to lime the raised beds today!!

) the wind has dropped to almost nothing...lull before the storm????

**lozza_9** · 08-03-2008, 09:32 PM

well I have moved all my plants and spuds from the greenhouse into the house just in case. Some of the plastic sides came out last week so do not fancy my veg being blown all over the garden

**bluemoon** · 08-03-2008, 10:31 PM

It's probably timely to say that most greenhouse damage is caused not by the wind itself, but by loose items hitting it whilst being blown around, so move things like buckets and pots and anything else which might give your glass a whack.

Visited the north end of the field (my allotment) today and found all the debris blown there in the SE/SW winds for the last five months. Absolutely staggerred at the amount of stuff blowing around the garden in a gale. I found:

bits of twigs and a stem from a tree (and we don't have trees here!)
plant pots
bits of string and rope
four slates (not off our roof!)
a piece off the wheelbarrow
one bird feeder
one dog toy
masses of paper rubbish
brussel sprout stem and top
a cabbage
part of a fence

oh and a dinghy - got blown there three winters ago and has remained due to my inability to dig it out of the ground!

Bluemoon's right - make sure you've got nothing to blow around in the gale.

Well Sunday morning so far here.... its warm sunny, still and beautiful.

I have to clean the Bathroom before going outside.

Just looked on Metcheck and it seems as if Ireland, the South West and south Wales will be the worst hit. It looks as if we will get it tomorrow morning. Not very nice at the moment, grey and rain

**gardenplot** · 09-03-2008, 06:09 PM

Been really nice and sunny today a few rain showers this afternoon, but think we will get the bad weather tomorrow.
