Windy Disaster

oh that's such a shame!!! Can you not rescue any of the seedlings that went on the floor? Maybe you could salvage some of them...

How awful,Irene,so sorry to hear that..It has been the same here too..gale force,but my little growhouse which is secured to a fence,stood up to it,thank goodness..or else it would have been up ,up and away..It just makes you feel,why bother,doesn't it? I hope it isn't too expensive to replace your panels in your Greenhouse..

So sorry to hear about this. A little tip for the plastic ones that are apt to blow away, put a paving slab or two on the bottom shelf to weight it down. You can still put plants on them.

I tried that Cinders, and the base stayed there nice and firm, but the top flew off and away! End of wallhouse.
Lots of sympathy to you Irene - hope you can rescue some of your seedlings.

Oh dear Stera, at least the pots probably stayed put didnt they ? I hope. Well mine have been ok so far.......

Had a distressed call from daughter earlier today to say that her small plastic greenhouse had suffered the same fate and the sweetpeas and sunflowers planted by no 3 granddaughter Ellie (aka ellsbells) had been scattered far & wide . As luck would have it I have both growing and I can sneak them into her pots so that we don't have to explain sods law to a two year old

Oh dear thats such a shame, I'm not surprised if your wind was as strong as ours, my g'houses are ok but the guttering on the side of the house has come adrift and the fencing on the dog run is now in dire straits, the wind has dropped a fair bit tonight, my raised bed looks as though its autumn with all the twigs and leaves...

How rotten Irene. Isn't the weather strange? I have only planted seeds yesterday as it has been so cold here. It is windy here but not as bad as with you. Hope it is better tonight.

What a shame. Here's me having a moan about the wind ruining my Crocus!! I hope you can get something sorted!

I would rather have rain than these strong winds, finally we are warming up and this happens! Being a gardener is so frustrating sometimes..
Sorry to see your Ghouse in this state irene, i haven't started any seeds off yet, maybe i wont bother as last years were a total disaster with the wet weather but i have had this happen to me by visiting cats in the greenhouse jumping up onto the shelving, I salvaged quite a lot of them, dont give up youll'e get there.

What an awful shame, we don't seem to be getting ' normal' weather at all these days

I haven't much in my gh at all, the last few years have been really disappointing, growing lots of seeda and plugs tnast got tattered and battered as soon as I put them out in tne garden

The only survivors were ftench marigolds so I,ve sown some trasys of those and am goi g to try more perennials.....
Sad because I used to love the bizzies and petunias in the big tubs

Oh dear that is a shame. It was very windy here too but we are sheltered by the wood. It was very loud and the trees were bending, but we have no damage thank goodness. Hope you are soon able to repair all the damage.
