I woke this morning to find my greenhouse on its side and all my `babies` everywhere
Winds were picking up last night and i went to bed worrying lol!
I have managed to salvage most, repotted but lost my big pot of Mizuna and a tomato plant!

Any tips on keeping my greenhouse secure? It is on my patio (back legs on earth, front on patio) i had placed heavy pots of stones on the bottom shelf and a bag of compost at the side of the greenhouse which clearly didnt work!!!

Oh no :eek: glad you managed to salvage most the stuff in it, that must have been dome hefty gust of wind. I cabled tied mine to a drainpipe, but not using it atm so I've put it away for now.

Oh no! It's a terrible feeling isn't it? After mine got blown about the first time, I went to poundland and got extra tent pegs and put loads more in. And we put a bag of rubble on the frame at the door every night. Can you find a more sheltered spot, a corner maybe?

How is everyone today? Good I hope.

Mixed day here so far, cloudy and still a bit windy, but the sun is trying to come through, so fingers crossed. I have a list of jobs as long as my arm that I could be doing!

Had my first strawberry last night! Very nice.

I missed a parcel yesterday and I'm hoping it's something from T&M...

Sorry to hear this. It's horrible when you care for plants and then loose them when there is nothing you could have done about it. My idea- is it possible to use tent pegs and some kind of line for the soil side. Is there anything these could be tied to on the patio side.

Me and my friend randomly decided to do race for life so started taking up running a few weeks ago...don't be too impressed I only ran a mile and walked back again on the flat road. I can't even walk uphill without getting out of breath, it kills you doesn't it!! I love it though it's so MSE, doesn't cost a thing. The neighbours burnt their bonfire for hours, they have one all the time, they just burn old junk I think. Had to close the windows and doors though yuk they keep cutting the hedge dead low as well when all I want is privacy in the garden, they are ok though some people have awful neighbours don't they.

I can't even run that! I'm sooo unfit these days, I keep saying I'll get fitter... Yes, total killer lol.

Grr to your neighbours, but yes it could be worse. I'm lucky really, even though this is a new house, I'm not really overlooked and rarely see anyone.
