Yes, we got over 4" of rain and it got very windy, but my little greenhouse didn't even flap around in the high gusts of wind. I used very heavy clear vinyl and lots of clamps, so far so good! There is now a plastic roof under the clear plastic. I bought what is actually supposed to be a ceiling cover for flourescent lights. It is like a square honeycomb. White and about 1 inch thick. As the weather here goes to both extremes this time of year. One minute it is in the 40's and by midday it's in the high 80's. The greenhouse needed a breathable roof and this is working very well along with some black shade cloth I can drape over the sides to keep the full sun from hitting the new cuttings. Cold winter sun is going to be essential later on.

Here are the Flash cuttings at 4 weeks now.
I know it doesn't look like there has been any changes, but that is a good thing!
No more loses, no mold and fungus, and everyone is a bright healthy green. They are just busy making roots and we'll know when they suddenly start to grow, that they have been successful.
