Today I’m really glad we invested in a real, sturdy, heavy, anchored greenhouse. It’s windy out there today with gusts in the 20-3omph range. It’s truly howling out there, and I may have seen a large cat fly by earlier — but I’m not entirely sure — it may have been a Norway maple leaf. Hard to say. What I do know is my greenhouse is going nowhere unlike what happened last year when the storms really got going.
A View out the Greenhouse Back Door
Last year when the wintery winds kicked up, our first little greenhouse crumbled like the straw house built by one of the three little pigs.
So, let the wind blow. My well-anchored greenhouse is standing steady. From it, I harvested habanero peppers, leafy greens and even another ripe lilikoi today. Heck, the passionfruit vine is even forming new flowers in November though I seriously doubt they’ll become fruit over the winter.
Still, I expect the structure will hold, and we’ll be enjoying it for years to come despite wind, rain, sleet and snow.
