been ballin' a shiny black steel jack-hammer
Been chippin' up rocks for the great highway
I live five years if I take my time
Ballin' that jack and drinkin' my wine
I been chippin' them rocks from dawn till doom
While my rider hide my bottle in the other room
Doctor say better stop ballin' that jack
If I live five years I gonna bust my back, yes I will

Let me tell you it’s a real battle out there. It’s a man against mother nature.

Have you thought of re- bar rods. Drive a 5' rod into a drainage hole in the plastic containers and sink it 2' in the ground. That along with the T posts you're using for support will keep them upright. The fabric pots will want to lean and rip. They might need an extra support.
In 2 months you know how much heavier the plants will be.Supports are a pain to dismantel but still less work than fixing the mess every week.
I've used re-bar rods for container grown trees and shrubs for years. Cheaper than T posts but a bit harder to remove.

Dump day for the old rootballs and plant frames. Dispose of 17 plants and rootballs and some of the wife’s garden trash for five bucks. Not a bad deal.
Looks like I was first there today.

I love cats they always bring a smile to my face.
No damage, just knocked over? I hope that's the case, I've grown enough plants to feel the anxiety when this happens.
To secure your pots to the pallets, there must be a few ways to accomplish this.
Ratchet strap the bags to the pallets
What a shit show. Oh my God completely absurd. I had to leave. I lost the battle when the wind picked up plants kept knocking over. I kept trying to stand them up. I couldn’t get post or lines tied down fast enough. I ended up, just knocking everything over and leaving …Power went out as well
I’m not sure how I’m gonna handle this ..The wind decimated the plants they are so top-heavy.
She could tell I was upset
Mother nature is testing us. There is no winning just managing. Struggling to manage today myself. This weather is something else.
Another 3/4" rain today so far. 3/4" yesterday followed the 1.5" over the weekend. Def don't need to water anything around here. Wind launched my farm stand across the road wrecking everything. Then I noticed the deer broke in the fence and ate my tomatoes. This is where you can add your favorite obscenities as I've used all mine...

Just yesterday I felt like I was on top of the world
It was almost comical. It was like a comical skit out there. I’m running around, pushing plants back up and then the next one gets knocked down and I’m running around again like a chicken with his head, cut off, frantically pounding posts and trying to get everything lined up. I finally gave up …felt a little bit better.
If I was smart, I should’ve just gently lied everything down on the ground from the very beginning, before they got pounded and decimated ..I could see hear branch and stem snapping
As a X guerilla grower of many decades. You wouldn't believe all the catastrophes that ruined my plants. It really is quite amazing that it didn't frustrate me to the point of quitting earlier than it did. Problems are part of any work project but when you lose money enough times, it's time to call it quits.
Flower... I hope it's not as bad as it looks.

Hindsight is a good way to look at things but it only works after the fact, unfortunately.
Guess who’s getting drunk tonight?… happens once in a blue moon.
