Thanks for the sympathy guys Yeah Savage, the weather here is hardly predictable, and the weather patterns have changed a lot in the last 10-15 years.

Anyways I stuffed the wet paper towel all around them stem so that hopefully it won't dry out and die, but rather pull the moisture from it and heal itself back up. I remember reading a thread about people attaching branches from weed onto other tree types and this was the method they used, so I figured its worth a try.

As far as a tarp, I have thought a lot about this, but still havn't came up with something that I could easily tarp/untarp them and have it somewhat camo. I mean I could easily build a frame and throw a tarp over it, but its a matter of the plants size, location, stealth, and an easy solution .
