Had a good look around the garden to see the wind damage. The pallet fence on one side of the veg patch has blown down and needs replacing before I plant anything there - probably use chicken wire, fire guard or baby gate.
The 3 GH frames, joined together and covered with debris netting (where I grow raspberries and brassicas) has taken a hammering. The middle frame is the weak point because its doesn't have any bracing across the frame where it joins GH 1 & GH3.At the moment, I'm thinking of removing the middle frame and turning it into 2 small netted GHs. GH 1 has the door end and GH3 has the back end. The debris netting was joined in the middle of GH2 so, If I remove the join it'll leave debris netting over the roof and sides and a bit hanging down that I may be able to wangle across the open ends..
On the bright side, its quite mossy in there, and has been on my list of Jobs to do for a few weeks. There's not much growing in there apart from a bucket of perennial kale cuttings that reach the roof............and that was another job on the list - Take cuttings of kale.
The moral is, don't rush to do things, save your energy for when the time is right!
