Greenhouse
The greenhouse is still standing after the weekend storms, though it took a bit of a beating. One of the seams tore through so there is now an extra flap on the tent-like covering. I think I can mend it with some clear duct tape.
The plants inside are doing fine, in spite of the ruckus. In fact, yesterday, I transplanted the pepper seedlings from the seed starter tray into small pots. I also washed out a few seed trays from last year and planted creeping thyme and basil seeds in them. The onion seedlings can use transplanting, too, though I'll have to find some pots for them.
