Bad weather coming, get the garden ready

I'm sitting here waiting for the storm to hit.  They have severe weather predicted for our area with high winds.  When you work with trees, that can mean lots of damage and work to follow.  I am on call so I am doing my best to just be ready to go in case I get the call.

I got busy with my garden getting it ready as well.  I had put some extra clamps on my row covers this morning, and set all my un-planted flats of flowers under my benches to protect them from wind and hail.  The storm didn't get here earlier as predicted, so tonight I did some more preparations.  All the hanging baskets and pots are in the garage.  Lawn chair are stowed away to avoid blowing around the yard.  I picked the lettuce exposed to the elements and some rhubarb to bake for my co-workers who had to stay over-time immediately after work in preparation for calls.

I hear the thunder now so maybe we will get the bad weather after all.  Time to shut down the computer and wait it out.
