Storm damage...

Managed to get up to the allotment yesterday evening on the way home just to check how it had survived the storm. It was actually pretty much intact, see...

Only the one bit of plastic had really been moved around and even that was still tethered by one corner so hadn't got lost. My little fleece tunnel had also survived intact, impressive as I'm not known for my DIY skills. So, I straightened everything out again in the ever present drizzle and came home.

Then, we woke up this morning to the sound of gales blowing around the house and were greeted by this when we looked out the back window...

Wonderful...

Rather than spend ages picking it up so that it can get blown over again we've left it where it is and simply thrown the contents inside it to keep it weighed down till the wind blows itself out.

Eventually...

Hiya Paul & Melanie - great blog!

Its so disheartening when you see your hard work strewn all over the garden! but, pick up as much as you can, replant and off again you go. The joys of gardening! :o)

At least you'll know what to do next time! Thankfully we didn't seem to have any mishaps here. Cheers!

Awww, hope you didn't lose too many seedlings. I've got one of those and I've been waiting nervously to find the same thing, but it's survived so far (touch wood!)... Perhaps you should put a couple of breezeblocks or some bags of compost in the bottom.
