Here is a photo of Nathaniel inspecting the portable greenhouse and looking for his cabbage. As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for because you may get it. Everybody I know was wishing for rain.
We sure got it, and with it came the complimentary high winds.
Anytime the forecast calls for winds greater than 30 mph I simply roll the greenhouse into the garage. On this fateful day the weather forecast called for sustained winds between 15 - 20 mph.
After the storm rolled through I instinctively went outside to estimate how much rain fell. Soon I noticed the tell tale signs of high winds then noticed the street lights were not casting the usual shadows across the driveway. But the street lights were on. So what was missing?
Uh Oh. It took me a few moments to remember the greenhouse and all it's transplants growing for the fall.
Greenhouses don't just disappear but they can blow a long distance.
Although we lost the first wave of all the fall transplants, the second wave has been sowed and is off to a good start.
