Title: Disaster!
Post by: Sigsy on June 27, 2007, 12:27:58
My polytunnel housing my 20 plants and 8 cucmber plants has been blown over in the bad weather  :'(,
one peice of the frame is badly bent out shape but in all it looks repairable  :-\

A lot of my plants have taken some damage though, lost a lot of branches and they have been bent right over, it looks though as if non of the stems have snapped  :)

What a horrible sight to come home to, not sure whether or not 3 months of work had gone down the drain  :(

 :( :( :( Oh no, if it's not the rain, it's the wind.  Something tells me we can't win this year.  What bad luck, I hope you're able to repair/rescue as much as possible.
