That is an excellent point, Top. I've been considering a pop up greenhouse or a hoop house, as I get super antsy waiting for Winter to end and Spring to arrive, plus I would like to lengthen my season a bit on the Autumn end (at least have a few plants still blooming while I'm digging and dividing).
I have lived in Nebraska my whole life, and always conveniently forget about the crazy wind until it happens. Last year we had a weekend with 6 inches of rain and 50 mph winds...that was a huge mess and a lightweight structure may have made it worse. Thank you for the perspective! :)
Arturo- I may be dropping you a Tree Mail when I get closer to deciding what I want to do!
