I've got wind, and sucking Rennies doesn't help! LOL

My garden is being battered and my small tomatoes, etc are suffering.
One squash plant which was out has had it, but luckily I have 2 others
inside.
I was going to plant some things out on the allotment tomorrow, but I
think I'll wait a few days. "They" say it's going to be worse up
north so good luck to those of you who get it worse than here.

To say the wind is "fresh" here in Leics today would be an understatement,
although it's been fairly windy for a couple of weeks actually.
No damage up to now, except a few twigs blown off my elderly fruit trees
which will come in useful as kindling for my woodburner later in the year.
It's an ill wind etc sorry, I'll get my coat..

We are hoping it will blow the !"%^ing pigeons and their nest out of
the tree in our garden.

Why?

My poly tunnel blew away and I was in it at the time :-(

Because pidgeons are a pain in the backside, they attack all my green
vegetable plants, and make them unusable!

You know when it's windy when:

http://www.howhill.com/weather/view....2005&m=04&d=28

Christmas Eve 1999 had the roof fly off and land on the wall the
other side of the road that is behind the wall that the shed is
leaning against in the above image. The wind then was gusting to the
mid 60's mph with sustained 50 mph...

The charts look like it might get a bit breezy later on tommorow.

Wind?

http://wightfishing.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=169.0

Avenues of mature trees toppled.

Roofs ripped off or holed.

You've got wind? Sorry, slight breeze.

I almost abandoned my weekend plan to plant out my beans yesterday, but it
turned out all the beans that have so far germinated are all dwarves anyhow,
so I went ahead. Really must put some runner beans in tonight!

Don't know about anyone else, but the number of pigeons strutting around my
garden is very annoying this year. the cherry tree will need netting in a
week or two. :-(

It's still bowing quite well here but I haven't checked the anonometer
- assuming it's working properly.

Just about got to F9 (upper 40's mph sustained) an hour or so ago,
eased a bit now only an energetic F7 (mid 30's mph sustained). A few
gusts above 50 mph.

I do hate it when it keeps on blowing like this!

We get fed up with the noise when it stays above F7 for more than
24hrs. Anything less than F5 (20 mph sustained) doesn't make any
noise and we don't consider F5 "windy", though vistors will nearly
always comment.

I don't use one of those, I just check the angle of the branches on the
weeping silver birch on the green across the road.

Today they are achieving 90 degrees quite frequently.

I have a pair who are determined to wedge themselves under the roof of the
bird table.
The cats watch them avidly from the safety of the kitchen. They are young
and haven't got the courage to try them yet :-}

Do pigeons go for gooseberries as well? There are a pair of stupid looking
fat birds hanging around in the garden and I'm wondering if they're waiting
for my cherished first gooseberry crop to ripen. I'll be heartbroken if they
all get stolen.

It *is* windy and raining here. (Yorkshire)

I've never noticed them doing, but they are probably more attractde to my
currants on the allotment, so the gooseberries aren't as tempting.
Especially witht he spines.

Daniel picked a gooseberry at the weekend and was most put out when I told
him it wouldn't be ready yet. He also found our first ripe redcurrant!
