Day 40...

AM

Oh gosh, I nearly cried as I walk up the steps to the garden...First stop DAVE!!! He's perfect, sitting on his favourite leaf at the fish pond, almost as if nothing had happened...Glancing to the right, this was my view...Fortunately on closer inspection, the plants under the cover was only slightly on the flatter side due to the collapse, but at least not broken....I was pleasantly surprised to find that the crop cover wasn't torn and mostly still attached to the spikes in the ground...I must admit I expected worse..

...Wish I could say the same for the rest of the garden...hmmm damage control.... 

PM

So this is the way we learn, trial and error...lucky not at expense of the veggie patch...went back to Chamberlains today and bought another roll of 25mm pipe...Erected the first one on the same principle as the second one, as it seems to have survived better...Also used a few more strings in between to reinforce the structures...Thank goodness we don't have storms like these everyday...
