Hurricane Bill

We have decided to take down two tunnels, tighten the ropes on the three tunnels covering all of the tomatoes and hope for the best. It has definitely been a very stressful few days of trying to decide what to do - of course two days ago the forecast was more intense than it was last night. The tunnels are able to sustain winds up to 90km/hr. In the past we have lost a tunnel from wind and we don't really want to push it. He has taken the plastic off of two in Canard. The challenge is that all of the tomatoes will be really damaged by the wind if we take them down.

Anyway - it is Sunday morning and we are just going to ride out the day. If the winds get too high Josh's plan of attack is to cut the ropes and then we can save the structure.

Take Care!
