Thanks Ivan, I hope that you've saved what you needed too, it's been a bit breezy but heavy rain has been the problem for the last two days up here. Good luck. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Thank you Stevie
Oh dear Ivan , I live in North Cornwall and wind is my enemy , we get very little frost but if things aren’t properly staked they get flattened . I have used soft plastic netting fastened round pots with cable ties that has helped my large pots of potatoes in the past but generally they have usually survived and any broken stems tend to replenish themselves . So fingers crossed your plants will come through ok , I think bitter cold winds from the east do most damage. ❤️
Yes that is true so at least it is not a cold wind
Thank you Lynda
High wind is awful I know ,me and my husband moved all our containers into one place and surrounded them with 2 extra long windbreaks we saved all our plants that night then moved them back into position when storm was over , we live in northern Scotland and very often have to deal with adverse weather, I watch weather reports like a hawk so I can get organised if need be , think windbreaks might help you 😀
Sounds like you have it all sorted nice one Thank you Jen
Wasnt expecting the high winds, just planted new plants and id also modified my greenhouse for airflow in hot weather. 🥴 Just a blimp in life , on the other side lots if rain ive watched my plants boost in growth.
One good thing one bad thing guess it evens out Thank you Deb
I taped up a snapped kiwi and its growing. winds are mini tornadoes - in our wind tunnel. My 6ft arches are now 4' 2' 😂 after tipping. Probably my biggest challeng is domestic cats
Hope it recovers and luckily we have no cats around so thats a bonus

Thank you much appreciated
Same over here on the Isle of Man, Ivan. My Rocket spuds in containers have taken a bashing. Fingers crossed there'll be minimal damage when I check them over this evening. Such a shame as they're great tasting spuds.
Hope they pull through Thank you Andy
Hopefully the majority will survive the wind damage Ivan. I was wracking my brains to think of something you could use as a temporary shield to just put the most vulnerable plants in for a very short space of time until the very high wind passes @ all I could thing of was one of those I stand pop up & pop down tents which come with tent pegs, that would definitely work but not sure if it would be acceptable to etect a temporary tent in your garden. Hopefully somebody will come up with a genius idea 🤔Annie
Thank you for your thoughts Annie much appreciated
Snap, we had bad winds last night more than 50mph, GH first storm, Jerusalem artichokes too a beating, and comfrey. I cut back the comfrey it will come back, the artichokes were well battered two out of the four lots I cut them back 4inch, they were bad. Hopefully it wont impact them but it is what it is.. Hopefully you don't lose nothing else.
Crazy days again Good luck Zoey
Would a cheap stripy windbreak help Ivan? I can't believe the amount of rain and wind we have had over the last 2 days in the NW. I was outside staking my sunflowers to the pole securily in the rain and wind and 1am last night. The things we do for the love of plants!
I think it may Thank you Linda
I think I may have wrapped some cling film around the bottom of the cucumber obelisk. That would have shielded it from the cutting winds. happy gardening 🙂
Good tip
Yes it is Thank you Shirley
That's a great idea Thank you
@@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk you are most welcome
Ivan your gardening days are at an end.
No we will make it work
Netting around it will help
Yes true Thank you Mary

Thank you
We've just taken down some old fencing, basically before it fell down, and now, unwittingly, we've opened up our garden to a bit of a wind tunnel. British weather I'm afraid Ivan. What about creating a little hedge in pots? Box or Privet. They're fast growing. Obviously you'd need to weight the pots down. I'm with the suggestion of a wind break or two. Lliving so close to the sea side you should be able to pick up a few quite cheaply, you'd only need them while the plants get established. Alternatively, could you get some trellis? We've had the high winds here T'up North, heavy rain which has weighted down the plants and then the wind has been blowing a gale. All that said, you're plants are still looking really healthy. Keep going Ivan, soon be summer 🤞🤞
Yep keep going you'll come up w something.. for sure
Yes still lots to do roll on summer Thank you Julie
Thank you will do
I’m really sorry Ivan😢
No worries Ann they will recover i am sure
One of those windbreakers that people use on the beach is a good idea. You can always move it when it calms down.
Sounds Like a plan Thank you Mick
Ha ha, great minds think alike. That was my first thought.👍🏻
Thanks for the update Ivan, fingers crossed for the potatoes, and all the other plants. 🤞
They seem to have pulled through Thank you Sheila
Wind or slugs the struggle is real 😫
Sure is Thank you Donna
Shame about the windy conditions I suppose you could look on the bright side it could have been a lot worse, that's mother nature for you. All the very best Tim 😊
Yes it is a pain but we will manage Thank you Tim
Hi Ivan been pretty calm here in Shropshire today but really chilly this evening put some of my tomatoes in plastic greenhouse worry drop in temp would affect them? Hugs from Shropshire
We have tomatoes outside and it dropped a bit cooler but they are ok so i am sure you will be fine Thank you Anna
Right Windy
Sure was Thank you
Wow that potato plant is massive. I’ve a question from someone new to gardening. How do you know when they are ready to harvest? Are yours ready? Are they still in the pot because it’s better to store in the ground than in the cupboard?
I wait until the plant starts to die back a little but normally they can be ready in 12 to 14 weeks if 1st early ones but if the weather is not good then i always leave them longer
Thank you
Lovely this afternoon in NW Kent. It was well gloomy this morning. Wind isn't any trouble today. Sorry to see your lovely plants getting a battering. Are you by the coast?
No worry we will get by one way or the other
Thank you Kate
Hope you didn’t have any more damage
Thank you
We have only just started to plant up our front drive & had same wind damage last yr as our drive is a wind tunnel. It even blow over a large heavy pot with courgette in & a runner bean pot with obelisk. Will be really interested what you plan on doing to prevent it happening to yr containers, as i'm at a loss on how to stop it blowing my pots over.
Wind is my nightmare for sure i hope your plants make it and i will see what i can do to secure mine Thank you Katie
Would some kind of netting attached to the balcony give some protection?
Yes would off some protection even a little is better than none Thank you Pauline
It's awful when you see all your hard work being blown about, but you'll soon discover the spots that have more shelter than others, and learn where not to leave 'breakable' plants.
Very true Thank you
Sorry to hear the damage caused by that wind. maybe it's best to invest in some sort of boards you can put up around the balcony railing for windy days
Yes will need to do something Thank you
High winds in Nottingham too, 3 damaged toms, item’s hitting them
My pet hate but hoping it will pass soon Thank you Tom
If you've any wood maybe you could make a frame for the potatoes to give them support.
Tony oneal on simply gardening made frames for his
I have a little that i may be able to use
Thank you Jacqui
English weather, such a nuisance 😫 I’m sure they will be ok 🤞
Thank you Cherry
I had hail break off one of my tomato plants. Can you stake the potatoes?
Maybe will try that as the winds can be a pain here Thank you Connie
Can't ya put a wind breaker up Ivan, just a suggestion, may look odd but if it helps protect things for now. Sat down with a cuppa, overcast here today...
Yeah I was going to suggest that too
Yes good idea Carol will look into it
Thank you
Good idea will look into it
Thank you Laura
Id try putting a wind breaker (bog standard beach/camping type) a metre or two from the plants. My back garden is like 10m x 8m or so with a 6ft fence all round and still gets battered in high winds.
something i can see is a posablity is all your food is open to anyone maybe some cctv
No we dont so i will rely on good old fashioned trust Thank you Angie
