Catastrophe!

Silly me, silly me. You'd think I would have more foresight. You'd think I would have known better. I proved to myself I am human, after all.

Last week the kids and I diligently planted seeds, labeled them and put them safely in our 4 shelf greenhouse which I typically keep indoors at our sunniest window. We were having such a beautiful string of good weather I saw no harm in pulling the greenhouse out onto the back deck where our precious seedling would have a bit more direct sun. I figured an afternoon of sun would be good and that I would bring them in again before night fall, just so they don't get too cold.

My kids had swimming that day and we were only gone an hour and a half. In that time the wind picked up and I am not yet accustomed to the amount of wind we receive here as opposed to our woodland sheltered former abode. We came home that day to a fallen over greenhouse and a mangled mess of potting soil, seeds and seedlings on the deck. It was a chore to clean it up and set it to rights. I figured I'd have to restart and was glad I had not used all my heirloom seeds in the first go.

So now we are truly late in getting our seedlings off the ground but it's okay. We live, we learn.
