we had some crazy weather here yesterday while i was at a wedding. the lights flickered in the church but the power never went off. 75 mph winds knocked over many trees here in Joliet. i got home from the wedding and was just going to drop off my truck when i noticed one of my greenhouses that were on the back porch was missing. they have been off the plants for over a week now and i was waiting for a friend to move his belongings out of my garage before putting them away for the year. guess who didn't anchor them down? yep i thought they were wedged in so tight that they wouldn't go anywhere. dumb assumption. one of them lifted up and over my neighbors 6' fence and wiped out 3 birdhouses and a squirrel feeder. they were on vacation, so i lifted the gate latch, to see the damage. well i had a suit and tie on, so i changed out of my clothes into shorts, got the greenhouse out of their lawn, and left them a note with a 200 dollar check. then i showered up and got snazzied back up and had a good ass time with a clear conscience. i was even dancing to "Do the Humpty Hump" by Digital Underground. tonight my neighbor gave me the check back and we had a good laugh over the story. he said he got those birdhouses free so not to worry. good dude.
the plants survived nicely and the only damage was one lost secondary that snapped and some leaves that got beat up on the 1247 and had there support veins snapped and folded the leaves over. here is the 1247 today at over 15' with a female opening tomorrow at 13' and another female 2' down the line at 15 that will open in a week. its hard to fit the whole plant in the pic, so here is most of it.
