We were just ready to harvest early spinach, lettuce, and radishes when we had a big windstorm that destroyed the plastic on the hoophouse.

| Radishes! We ate some for dinner on an overnight recently - yum! |
The good news is that within 1 week we had ordered new plastic, repaired the damage, and added new anti-billowing straps to keep the wind from damaging the new plastic. 1 week after that, we had 60 mile per hour winds and the hoophouse came through it just fine! We're replanting now.
The bad news is that all of that fresh produce we grew for the Food Pantry was frozen when the plastic was damaged.
