Northeast weather 2017

Mass/RI line here, the weather sucked yesterday (Sunday, 9/3). I didn't even realize it was raining overnight until I woke up and decided to throw my 2 girls inside my shed and leave the door open for air flow. That's the only thing that I can do with them, unfortunately. People with screened porches are so lucky to be able to put them inside when needed. My shed does do the job just fine but I wish I had a better way to deal with it. I need to purchase a decent greenhouse that I can take down each year (I'm sure snow would ruin it).

EDIT - I just checked the 10-day forecast for Southern New England and looks like we got about 3 to 4 solid days of rain coming this week. What a bummer.

People that have any options you mentioned are fortunate. Guerilla style you deal with what Mother Nature brings best you can.

Rained all night Saturday and most of Sunday, with the gorgeous weather today should be good. They needed a good soaking anyway

That makes me feel better. I'm less then a noob at this point, so seeing someone say that is comforting.

We have a nice steady 8-9 mph wind here also to go with the sun, so they look super happy right now.
 
They loved the weather today. 78, breezy, not a cloud in the sky. Perfect light all day.

I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts...after tomorrow, its 4 days of darkness and rain.

I love when they get all perked up. I never thought growing plants would be so deeply rewarding. But it really is.
 
My greenhouse girls are doing good. Tiny bit of mold on 1 tip with all the humidity. I'll be putting another fan in there today. Definately smaller plants this year. It just wasn't a good year for growing. Even my veggies look about a month behind where they usually are.
But the cool weather seems to have made the plants stretch less. & my buds are looking frosty already.

Its funny you say that. I'm not sure if it's usual, but yesterday I was bummed they weren't more frosty, then this morning I checked them and....sweet baby james. It looked like someone had dumped glitter all over them. Just overnight.

These plants continue to amaze me...

What a shit show September has been. Beautiful plants. Worried about them with all this rain and wind. Every god damn year same thing in September. Rain, wind and more fucking rain. I think it's time to move to a grow friendly state. Gotta love the northeast...

Ahhh, nothing you haven't dealt with before.
Had an early gth x cherry pie start melting, saved a handful. Easy three weeks to go and my my. Flavor city.
 
I'm on the border of vermont and new York. And I tell ya every god damn week I see my tax dollars hard at work. There pretty simple to patten. Don't grow next to a big water source and you'll be fine. They are chopper magnets.
 
Growing up, my best friends mother would pray to the patron saints of "missing things", "lost causes", "sick pets", and a whole bunch of others I can't remember.

The storm is an hour away...

Is there a patron saint of "Jerry-rigged greenhouse integrity"?

Maybe St. Theodore of Sykeon – Against rain and for rain.

Note: I'm not catholic, but the internet knows all. ;) Who knew there is a patron saint of disappointing children.
