Garden Disaster

Yesterday, after making my usual morning walk about the garden and being rather pleased with thingings I went of into town to treat myself to some garden bits and bobs. I was out for a few hours and on my return I came back to this.

My little greenhouse collapsed! As you can see! I arrived home to a note on the door from my neighbour who had been in the garden at the time and heard it all happen. He jumped over the wall and did his best to save my 'babies' (as he called it) from the baking sun by putting as much as he could back into there pots. As you may imagine I was rather gutted upon my return home and I am sure I was swearing like a drunken docker. After my initial grief I jumped in and cleared up the mess and salvaged  as much as I could. The casualty list was not as bad as first thought, I tomato seedling dead, my courgette lost a limb and a few other toms are now on intensive care but look good to recover. The greenhouse was a wreck. 

The cause of the collapse...... Me. Its a cheap greenhouse and I had loaded it with a few bricks to stop the wind from blowing it away, like it did last year. Add to that I potted up my larger tomatoes into large pots and watered them in well, it was all to much for the structure in the end!! There are alot of homeless seedlings right now who will have to live outside and hope Mr Frost has now gone away for the summer.

Yesterday will be forever remembered as the 'Great Greenhouse Disaster of 2013'.
