We had an unexpected day of high winds here in NC (Raleigh area)and my 6’x8’ greenhouse blew over, but not away (luckily).
I had a few celery starts in pots, but that was all, so no harm done. I’ll have to anchor it more securely, because this weekend I plan to start my tomatoes, peppers, pickle cucumbers, and squash. Out in the garden I’ll be planting the Pontiac red potatoes. It’s supposed to get to 71 degrees next Monday (warmest day this year by far). It’s been below freezing just about every night/morning for several weeks thru winter.
I’ve got 6 new apple trees and I’m hoping this has been a cold-enough winter season to satisfy their ‘chill-hours’ requirement. We’re in a 7-B zone.
I am still waiting for the few plants I ordered to be delivered.
Those high winds are really a challenge sometimes. Missouri has it’s share too. I am always thankful when our area only has high winds, because it could be worse.
People around our county refer to my town as “tornado alley”.

Oh, my goodness! I'm glad that you didn't lose it!
We had 64 mph winds a week and a half ago. That ended my squash plants but I figured I’d have to replant them so whatever. Everything outside, including the kiddie pool, went down the street and it pulled off some of the roof.
It’s misting out today and we’re supposed to have rain tomorrow. The night temperatures are in the 40s so hopefully they won’t dip too low.
