To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven: a time to be born and time to die: a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted.     Ecclesiastes, 3:1-2

Some better pics of the small ones!! & it only took me 2 days on average, but the weather slowed me down.





The poly sheet from B&Q 4mtr x 25mtr then i cut 2x 11mtrs long run & taped with gaffer tape the 2 pieces together so they ended up being  11mtrs x 8mtrs. ;D, a 1ft deep trench was dug all the way around this was to bury the poly sheet ive not gone to mad with the tightness of the sheet just enough for it not to flap around in the wind too much.


The pvc conduit spaced at 2ft
today i will be growin veg!!

When you say 'No more', what do you mean?
Blown away or ripped?
I hoe, I hoe, then off to work I go.

not good, sorry to see the damage and all that hard work.

Are you going to put something up to deflect the wind before you rebuild?

Aw hun, thats so disheartening. But you will redo it, I have to admire your spirit and energy.
