Thanks go to Val (Plot 23) for suggesting this post and providing the photos.


I was just thinking it might be timely to alert all allotmenteers to the potential power of the wind at this time of year and ask them to check their structures are secured and anchored.


It was certainly a shame to see so much damage done around our site after the recent gales – fences down, greenhouse glass blown out, compost bins scattered and poly tunnels uprooted.

Time to batten down the hatches! Thanks also go to Stewart (Plot 59) for taking the time on Sunday morning to replace and secure many vulnerable items and structures against the worst of the winds.
