I'm so mad I can't even think straight. Well to start off the weather has been the s%$#'s and just when it starts to warm up mother nature unleashes her storms, yes storms not one but one every night since Monday it is now Saturday. So far we have gotten over 182 millitres or roughly 13" of rain and that does't include tonights which I would say is about 5 inches. I had built a cover over the patch to heat it up but that came down in Wed. nights storm and took out 35 leaves and stems right in the centre of the plant, so today spending 10 hours fixing the cover and changing it to a raised centre from a flat roof which the new tarp is shown in the pic, this is so the rain will run off instead of pooling and come crushing down which already happened.

It would have worked fine except the 92km/h wind which almost put the whole structure across the street then the rain came and yep collapsed on top of the plant. The patch is a disaster spent the last 2 hours in the wind and rain and mudd trying to save my baby's. I'm wet, cold, mudd up to my ying yang and I feel like bawling. I'm going to have a hot shower and go to bed, 2:10 am. Well try to get a pick of the patch tommorow, not sure if any thing survived...
