ITS SO WINDY..........

11 comments


It has been so windy here on the south coast the last few days…. My plants have all taken a battering.. its been blowing from the North East.. so goes across my garden and my poor curly willow tree has been nearly bent double……i have been out to make sure everythings ok….. In the front garden i have a Cordyline in a pot its about 4 years old now and grown quite big….. all day yesterday i spent picking it up as the wind was knocking it over.. so decided to bring it round the back.. ive put it by the dustbin for now as its sheltered there… and will have to find a new home for it when these horrible winds die down…….im going to get something else to go out in the front garden… thats not going to grow so tall……..

I feel your pain - it was a beautiful day here in Dublin yesterday but the wind was mad - Lost the top of my prize sweet pea - not to worry his brothers and sisters are catching up

I know the feeling - I'm on the south coast too and on Sunday had got the garden looking great - grass cut plants out (even did the edges!!) and then the wind came and now the garden looks like a tree has shed all its leaves everywhere!! Typical!!

No how you feel i live right on the coast and we had terrible winds last week coming of the irish sea, & this week its coming from the east, still very windy but not quite as bad as last week, but i think its alot colder.

Sorry you've had such strong winds. You can have a great time going around garden centres now looking for a new plant for your front garden :o)

Had horrible cold winds in this part of Kent too over the last couple of days. I really thought summer had arrived on Saturday - it was gorgeous. Today is grey, chilly and damp but not enough rain to refill to water butt. Hopefully we are all in for a long warm spell with rain at night!
