High winds have hit Cumbria - as a first time allotmenteer, I've been
there today anxiously checking over newly planted fruit trees. luckily
I have good friends who will stake them for me, if the weather worsens
over the weekend when I am away! I almost feel like a new parent again
) Sadly I have also emailed pictures of my cabbage plants to friends
abroad - does it get better as time goes on?

Well I never! Another Cumbrian on urg! Welcome. I was brought up in
Whitehaven and am well aware of the difficulties of the wind! Don't
worry! My first father-in-law was the best gardener I have ever known
and he had around a third of an acre at Whinney Hill on the way from
Whitehaven to Cleator Moor. He had big sausagey fingers but could thin
out leeks like nobody's business. Good luck. I'm sure you'll be OK,
laal lass
