Storm Ali - lost both me greenhouses
Didn’t realise this storm would be so bad. I think it was the different wind direction, as I have plenty defences up, both greenhouses been up 6 or 7 years.
OH informed me 6x8 greenhouse was on the floor about 3pm. Arrrggghhh! I immediately hatched a plan of moving stuff to the other greenhouse. Wait until the wind drops a bit. By 5pm other greenhouse was on the floor too.
All my plants on the floor, and covered in glass.
Quite worried about the amount of glass to move. It’s flown everywhere. Dog has to be strictly controlled tomorrow, which will be new for her.
I know nobody died, but feeling pretty down. Lots of work ruined.

You'll need to be careful and thorough clearing up that glass. Good luck.
We went through the great storm of ‘87 so I know what it’s like.
Wish we were nearer to help with the clear up.
Take care of yourselves.
i have made a list and small pots can be moved, big pots can be cropped now (tomatoes, cucumbers), or moved (blueberries). I have some grow beds with pak Choi and Asian veg, not sure there is a place for them, might be the compost heap. Real problem is the permanent in the ground plants. One greenhouse had a black Hamburg vine, I’d been training round the greenhouse for a while, so it’s pretty big. Lots of grapes. The other a fig tree. Again quite big. I think I’d better prune to very small and dig up.
I wouldn't know what to recommend for the grapevine, maybe make a temporary frame until it it gone dormant then a hard prune ?
