Oh, how horrible. Hope the semps are ok (most important). It must have been a big wind! Need even bigger rock? Bad squirrels, taking advantage of semps misfortune...!!!

I am seriously at my wits end with winter!!

Me too Jennifer!!! We have gusts around 40mph today here so yeah you really need to secure your new greenhouse. At least you thought about it and tried with a big rock though. Hope your semps are ok....im sure they will be.

Just got confirmation that the one ceramic planter is toast. The rest were in plastic or metal so no loss there. Still no word on the plants but hubby wouldn't know. Maybe I should tell my boss I need to leave early because my babies were in an accident!

My co-workers would definitely know something was up if I said that....ive been talking no stop about my new babies! Let us know how they are

I know it's supposed to be serious, but do your co workers know that the babies are semps? Sorry but I had to chuckle over my coffee.

Actually if I said that they would think it was one of my dogs.

Oh Jennifer, I am so sorry to hear about the accident.
Thank heavens semps are tough. They might have some damage to leaves but will recover. They will be fine until you get home to gently tuck them in again. But I sure do realize how stressful it is. Same thing I feel when I go out to the beds and find some pulled up by birds, or whatever.

That would really be frustrating.... especially when you are first starting off and don't have many going yet.

Well the semps seem fine. Hubby did a great job of finding them all! The cover to the mini greenhouse did not do well But nothing some duct tape can't fix

Jennifer, I'm sorry - that is a bummer when "things happen" Glad you located them all!! And I totally agree with Lynn, they'll be fine. When I redid my semp wall I removed all the semps into the new wall (that I could see) and had just dirt left in the old one, well as its rained in the past week I've found some tiny seedlings, and they're doing totally fine, even though they'd been completely turned under the soil! They really are tough little guys! I guess you have to be when your usual home is on top of a cold windy mountain! Good luck though!

Great point Greg!

Jennifer, Im glad they are ok. Are you still liking your new greenhouse overall? I still am thinking about going to get one while they are on sale here this weekend. Glad your hubby saved your babies today!

Jackie, obviously I have to find a way to weigh it down better! Not sure how yet. I'm too cranky tonight to deal with any of it. Maybe tomorrow I'll figure it out

Yes, Couple sand bags maybe?? Maybe a couple gallons of water might do the trick. Are you keeping your semps out all day now?

Well I had been keeping them out all day, for two days. Now they'll be back in tonight, naked

Is there anything nearby that you could bungee strap it to? Or tie it down? If you tie it down, you're best bet might be to run the rope front to back across the top shelf...if it's sturdy enough? I use a lot of bungee cords here. I'm thinking I'd set it next to a post, fence or tree trunk and strap all the way around the upright and the GH.

Jennifer, keep us updated as to how they are doing being in the cold here.

Jackie they were totally fine in the cold. Being protected from getting wet I think helped. They even were fine being tossed around.

Great to here!!!

They're tough little buggers! I'm sorry I am just imagining them grabbing onto one another and calling out for help as they tumble to the ground
