Yesterday I had to go on a business appointment, leaving at 2 pm. At 1:45 my oldest son called me and asked if I knew that the plastic on one of the sections had been torn off by the winds. I had been out there about an hour earlier, built a fire in the stove and checked everything out, since I knew we were having wind gusts up to 45mph and the temps were going to drop down to 25*. All was fine then. Now, I could do nothing and would not be back for 2 hours, and it would be dark, cold and windy when I got back. Thankfully,myson vo;lunteered to help. We started at 5:30 pm and worked until 2:30 am in the frigid wind. We got the one section back on when another section was torn off. It was like a parachute in the wind, difficult to hold most of the time, We finally got it fixed as best we could, but more work will need to be done asap. We saved the plants, but were two cold, tired and frustrated guys when we stopped. It has continually windy all day today, so the rest of the repairs will need to be done next week. The edges of the plastic were torn badly, so the ends could not be nailed up. Will have to work on that later. See what you can run into with a plastic liner on a gh?
The great thing is this, my lilies are saved!
