Topic: Walsall Road Allotments - Plant Sale today

It's our Plant Sale today, just hope we don't get too much rain
and the gazebos don't take off.

The weather was what we have come to expect every time we have a Plant
Sale - rain and windy.  Despite this, we had a lot of visitors and when the rain
came they all went inside and scoffed the cakes and drank tea.

The wind was so strong at times that four gazebos were badly damaged and
will have to be scrapped.  It's very difficult knowing whether to put the sides on
to give the servers and plants some protection, but also make the whole gazebo
more likely to take off. If we leave them off, the plants get battered by the wind.

Not sure yet exactly how much we took, but maybe around £400.

Thanks for your good wishes.

Sorry to hear about the damage.
£400 sounds amazing, well done

Well done, you. 
Wet and windy here too but, luckily, we were having ours at our group's centre so, we all got wet but could go inside for a sit, cuppa and a cake. Think we did the same amount. Pub eer garden tomorrow

Well done too Manics

So sorry about the gazebos, Squash.  Very nice total amount raised and Manics too.  Glad you had good attendance despite the weather.
