I made it inside before the t storm today.
I laid out both an old plastic tablecloth--I save them for gardening when they are pretty worn out--and an old blue tarp with some holes and put them on top of the stones in the south bed of the house, which is in between the house and the sidewalk. I did minimal weeding there ahead of time, but I fully covered a couple of burdock to shade them out.
I moved the 100 gal Rubbermaid water tank that had a leaky split below the drainage hole to go on top of the tarp.
Took out the 3 tree sized planters with gold potatoes, and, I was going to put them inside of the the water tank, but I realized that:
1) they needed some water
and
2) it is raining now.
Although it's going to be 32 degrees F Monday morning and 25 degrees F Tuesday morning, I may just cover them with a ragwool blanket and some garbage bags, just in case it gets damp.
So, they sit today in my mint bed waiting for a shower.
