Spent the day out back prepping for the Tropical Depression. Only gave one tomato plant the VIP treatment, garden taped the heck out of others to the cages and stakes. This plant is from my 5.54 Greene (DMG) has a fruit at 24 DAP taping 23.5". Could very well be my best chance of the season at a new PB so had to go big to protect it. That's a spa cover on its side, on the top it's solidly wedged under a pergola beam. Hope my predicted wind direction is accurate.

Also moved my two wide head sunflowers (~2.5') to the side of house, protected by the house on one side and a 6' cedar fence on the other.

My 6 tomato plants in the community plot are totally exposed to the elements. Zero protection. Fingers cross this is just another over-hyped, grossly exaggerated weather event.
