The wind mae a really untidy mess of mine this year. Let's hope they
don't generate wind in proportion to what they've absorbed...

Hope I get some this year, I've had to grow them in the "Cage" as
every time I have tried before the badgers have cleared them out
without a trace..

At least you can hear them coming.

One hopes, not from upwind.
