I wrapped up the top and the next two rings with clear plastic wraps, leaving little openings for air circulation, and then for the lower rings I cut up some used plastic water bottles in half and put them inside the openings, securing each with a bamboo skewer by poking holes in them.  This way, even with the wind blowing, the skewer kept the half bottles in place.  If the pockets got dried up, I will just mist them with a sprayer.  The plastics and plastic bottles should keep the seeds moist until they germinate and protected from the wind.  We&#8217;ll see what happens in a few days.  I also replanted the old lettuce and marigold seedlings, and keeping my fingers crossed that the new revitalized potting mix will do well, even with left over thin roots in them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_0720.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_0720.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_0720-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><figcaption>All Done<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0721-e1588450423783.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0721-e1588450423783.jpg 480w, https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0721-e1588450423783-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption>GT2 in a Mini Green House<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I decided to direct seed in the GT2 this Spring (more like summer, already 90+F) And with the constant strong Vegas wind, sometimes blowing all day long, after the seeds were sown, I decided to give the Tower some protection.
