Wind trouble

No, I don't mean I had too many sprouts for dinner 

I had a lot of stuff coming along nicely in tubs in the greenhouse and after some reasonable weather this last week I put them all outside. Bad move!! We got rid of the snow and frost and now we have gale force winds

Broad beans bent double, onions rocked about so they sit in a hole as big as a politicians mouth and lettuce torn to shreds.

Ah well, things are supposed to improve later this week.

You could try planting a row of something like jerusalem artichokes as a windbreak.  The only problem is that they might give you wind troubles of an entirely different type...   :blink:

Yeah and we get some odd things that we'd rather you kept your side of the hill thanks 

It's just as flaming windy this side of the hill and anything we lose will end up on other side of North Sea!

Hedges make much better windbreaks than solid fences; something to do with aerodynamics I believe (although I've never understood what chocolate has got to do with it!)   

Our site is subject to strong winds on occasion like last Thursday when my shed decided on another lie down although as it has gone face down this time I think its given up . I have the only horizontal shed on the site now. The big 12ft hedge at the bottom of the  site does filter the wind without that I think nothing would be safe unless bolted down.
