I have tied an umbrella to the tomato cage.
I’m not sure this will work to save the tomato plant from drowning but I had to do something.
It is also one of the silliest thing I’ve ever done.
Bonus:
The mole pepper started falling over in the rain so I staked it up so it wasn’t listing so badly.
I’m worried that the pots are just going to get saturated- and they’re isn’t much I can do about that.
Peppers are famously resilient and famously weedy so I’m less worried about them then the tomato.
Still a little worried though.
San Francisco! Torrential downpour or drought! No in-between!
(UPDATE):
Umbrella fell over so I re-tied it to the cage and then I got ambitious and tried to tie up the fallen bits to a stake in the ground
Nothing like macgyvering in a downpour!
