The bad news is that the wind came up the next day and tore up the plastic. The doors were blown off that greenhouse (as well as a door off one of the others) and the plastic is holding down by a few shreds. It blew for three days straight, if it had gone for a fourth the plastic would have blown completely off. It's fixable, but it puts our schedule back.
Then the heater went out overnight in the house where we have the bedding tomatoes and peppers. A below freezing night. They didn't all die, which is kind of a surprise, but they don't look nearly as nice as they did. And there are a few varieties that are a total loss. We've decided not to go to the first Farmer's Market with them because they really need some recovery time.
I'd post pictures of them, but my camera is having battery issues and won't keep a charge. Aaaahhhhhh! But that's the third piece of bad luck, so hopefully it's done now. We could definitely use a turn for the better.
On the up side, none of the plants we're growing to sell as vegetables were harmed. They've been slowed down, but they're still nice. So that's good.
