Outdoors...to update, we had a bad thunderstorm, 6 inches of rain in 2 hours believe it or not. Trees were falling down, power was out, water was out. And it started at 2am. So I am out in the dark trying to save plants with a poncho on and it is pouring buckets. I am carrying 5 gal buckets with plants 2 at a time down a trail to a tarped off area for protection, putting seedlings in the house, and lightning is cracking like a warzone, we had 4 trees go down just from the rainfall. The next morning, all the plants are drooped over on the top edge of the buckets...they looked like shit, but now, 2 days of drying out later, they have grown a few inches and the trunks are noticeably thicker and stiffer.

In other news...IMPORTANT FOR OUTDOOR GROWERS...I just now realized that squirrels love garlic cloves, I went out this morning and had two plants dug up, the squirrel was after the garlic. Some of the garlic I had planted elsewhere was dug up also, so I had to go thru the plants and take out all the garlic, some of which was sprouted. Lesson learned. BTW, the reason I know it was a red squirrel is that I actually saw it in the bucket digging.
