It's still windy up here. What damage it does is negligable these days as we have everything tied down. The first greenhouse was up for a month and then ended up like the picture demonstrates...looks more like the work of elephants than the wind. The insurance paid out and we spent twice as much on a wooden framed, robust one.
The polytunnels have disappeared down the valley, as did our neighbour's. I am using cloches this year and the plastic ones have blown away and torn but the fleece ones are staying in place. It is so cold and windy that even the most English vegetables need protection.
I had the most amazing potato crop last year which we are still eating. They store well and haven't gone green at all! They were Marfona. Obviously I have the same ones chitting upstairs at the moment.
