Less than 24 hours after the cold frame pic was taken it is missing its plastic covers. We had a heck of a storm lastnight. Our tv antenna (yes we still have one of those) mast snapped and our antenna is hovering about 2′ off the ground. The plastic covers that were fastened to the cold frame by strips of wood are hanging. They were closed by the time the storm came so it must have been a heck of a wind. One of the pieces of wood was found about 30′ from the cold frame sticking straight up out of the ground. I won’t have time to repair this till tomorrow after work. The plants inside look ok and it is only supposed to get down to the mid 30s tonight so it should be ok.

I went out this evening to replace the plastic only to find that the wind snapped a crucial part of one of the automatic openers. The metal (aluminum) actually stretched before it broke. I’ve removed it and do believe I will be able to fix it. Stay tuned…
