joining the Greenhouse growers ranks, hail storm got me!!

[RJSquirrel]

I lost the 'I need a greenhouse' battle today. I got hit with 60 mph winds and 6 inches of quarter sized hail. Trashed all my plants on the deck. Just ordered a Snap and Grow 6 x 8 starter greenhouse. Its kind of cheesy and I dont like the clear poly sheets but I can cover it up. Got a shade cloth for it already. I hope its not torn up too as it had about 50 lbs of ice that stretched it nicely out of shape.
Oh well I got to move my shade house over to the other side of the patio. I hope it gets here like wednsday next week so I can have a few days off to put it together. My poor plants have had the misfortune of me liking them. I will do better. No more ice and no more 60 mph wind tearing them up. Growing these plants out of doors requires a greenhouse is my final opinion. You can do as one wishes and try to do good by them but they need protection from the elements regardless of how you want to grow your orchids. Consistency is the key to growing nice blooming orchids.
