Any one going to use protection this year from hail and wind? Last year I got hit pretty good by a hail and wind storm that knocked and broke alot of leaves over.I had wind breakers up but once the plant gets about 8 secondary vines its hard to protect the entire plant. Im trying to think of a way to rig some kind of protection over my plants so this doesnt happen again.Any one have any plans this year for plant protection from high winds and hail?

brooks, to follow what pappy said, kelly klinker and i came to the conclusion that a tornado is good for the plants !! his twister in 03 and mine in 04 both led us to new personal bests !!

I'm putting up a polytunnel at the moment hoping that it will make me a bit more competitive on my exposed site.

God has this huge carnival clicker wheel. Between each pin there is the name, of a vegie. He spins it once or twice each year when you piss him off. Where the clicker stops is where all hell breaks loose, in your patch. One of those stations is clearly marked pumpkins and such.

I don't know that you can prevent an act, of God.

Did not know this did you? ]:o)
