We got the high tunnel patched and the doors secured, to hopefully withstand another wind storm.  I also, secured the ends of the long side, roll-up walls, so the wind cannot blow through the high tunnel, that should help to combat wind damage but also keep the warmer air inside the high tunnel from blowing out.

FarmTek sent us replacement pipes for the roll up doors, the new pipe is a larger diameter and hopefully stronger.  We tried to replace the pipe but realized the aluminum clips that we had were the wrong size, I emailed FarmTek and they sent out new clips the next day, at no cost to me.  The replacement clips should be here tomorrow.  Their customer service has been very good.

We still have 5 varieties of leaf lettuce growing in there now, as well as kale, spinach, turnips and beets.  It was pretty cool to be able to have a fresh salad last night with lettuce from our high tunnel, especially this late in the season.
