Storm Eunice Hits The Greenhouse
We had a pretty strong storm hit us here in the UK recently which caused a lot of damage to my greenhouse. Shattered panes of glass were everywhere as well as the door to the greenhouse being completely ripped off.
Thankfully we had already removed a good amount of the glass panes the last time we had come in January with a relative of mine. The ones that remained as well as the ones we left outside were hammered by the storm.
Large and small pieces of glass had covered the ground sheet and some pieces actually sliced right through it and pierced the soil. I had to carefully remove them bit by bit.
The greenhouse has a sliding door and that was completely ripped out. Thankfully nobody was hurt in the process. I'm also proud to say this happened at a time of year where I had not yet planted any crops. 
Later to make things easier I grabbed a wheelbarrow and began collecting all the bigger pieces to throw away in the bin.
Besides the clean up I did manage to start weeding around the part of my plot that was no covered by the ground sheets. It was a lovely day and so I took my time to do it well and ended up with good results.
Here you can see all the weeds I had managed to dig out of the ground, they weren't too tricky to deal with but I have had some that were a pain in the past. Compared to then, this was a breeze.
I threw all of the weeds into my compost bin (none of the weeds had gone to seed so it was okay) that way I can eventually get them to turn in to compost. The bottom layer has already done so, it's just a matter of time until the rest does too.
This is the final area that needed to be weeded but I will leave it for a later date due to having other matters to sort out. I will be posting more updates as time goes on. Don't forget to check out my channel on Gardening!
