Getting the wind up

[Roy Bham UK]

It's late Saturday night and the wind is starting to get rough :o we have had a few heavy showers too, I've tied my sun flowers to the wall but am a little worried about a few pot plants around the pond edge. :-\
Dread to think what my nana's will look like tomorrow, what's it doin round your way? ???

Blowing, blowing blowing, Roy! but the scaffoldign cladding the building seems rock steady!!  Hope the corns will be o.k. - did stake them a bit during last big blow.  Hanging baskets at lottie will be getting battered tho - yet again.

No wind here as yet Roy.  Not even from the sprouts :-X

Very windy here in Essex.  Having to close upstairs windows bit of a gale going on.
I hope it settles down for tomorrow i have a stall to man for
the victorian fair, our committe for the health centre,we usually have a lovely day.  Looks like it could be winter wear tomorrow.
Well at least its dry ;D.

Lucky old you, its sunny here but very very blustery down our end of town.  Just come back from short trip to lottie where the remainder of my showy orange dahlia bush has been flattened - looked strange with one stem and one flower in tact.  It was pretty well flattened a few weeks ago as well but there is new growth coming thru - probably too late.  Tppk a piccie of the one remaining flower - don't know when the Autumn Comp starts but I've been bitten by the bug!!

corns swaying madly so picked another 8.  I hate working in the wind so came home pretty hurriedly.

Lovely day here today in Essex.  Went to the Essex country steam fair and the sun shone all day!  Just had a sprinkling of rain this evening, but not enough to water the garden!  If it doesn't rain by tomorrow evening, I am going to have to water the garden!

[Mimi]

Woooohoooo I take it all back.. Just returned from a visit to Ma in laws and was blown all the way back to Wales.   :o

It was fairly windy here over the weekend, but last night? Wow!!! I thought I would come down and find trees strewn across the road! Luckily nothing too dramatic has happened near us, and I hope you all survived the wind as well!

Really windy here (Essex/London border). Dry and sunny for most of the weekend, so I gave the garden a good soaking last night. Then it chucked it down.  ::)

Once the rain stopped this morning I dragged my mum to the allotment to show her all the lovely things growing, and couldn't believe the wind damage!  One of my walking stick kales which is over 5 foot was down on it's side, runner beans were over and curly kale was flattened!  Most peoples runner supports were damaged.  

Mind you, on the up side, I am chief picker for Jack whilst he is away, and I filled a great big tub with raspberries, so jam, pie, flan and au naturale it is!  :P
