There was some pretty stormy weather here yesterday as the remenants of hurricane Dennis reached us. Some areas not to far from us had more than 2 inches of rain. We had some, not that much, along with some thunder and lightning. But, the thing that really worried me was that The Weather Network was calling for the possibility of small hail.
Well, that got me scared enough to get around to putting up a shade structure. It's made out of the same frame as my poly house. I just used half as many poles and it seemed to work. So, I covered it with a 6x8 foot tarp that was on sale for only 2.79 at Canadian Tire (we got three in total for future use) and voila!
It's especially important for me to put up something to cover the pumpkin because I am concerned about vandalism. The pumpkin is maybe 8 feet from our back fence which is probably ten or twelve feet from a sidewalk and main street. So, there are a lot of people who walk and drive by. And, as the pumpkin gets bigger, it will be more noticable and prone to attack by any number of projectiles.
