Around this time of year, the new starts inevitably get rained on. If the storms are heavy, they end with quite a bit of damage and get set back 1-2 weeks. Finally decided to try to provide them some protection.
We have a storm coming in this week so we will see how it works.

What a good idea!!
Looks good — very clean!
I know exactly what you’re up to with that; I have the same early-season issues that make such a setup well worth bothering with 🙂
The material cost more than a new start
Why not bring them inside when it rains? I would think that the rain doesn’t only fall straight down.
Clever solution!
I was worried about the possibility of wind blowing them off, but I see one binder clip to help prevent that… I’d beef that aspect up… having that fall and break the plant would be counterproductive.
