These wind gusts have been really bad lately. Oh well, I'll be eating FHIA-3 soon.
Sorry to hear. Hope they will still ripen for you.
The 1" PVC support system has never worked for me. I have used the 1.5" one and anything that needs to be replaced will be replaced with the 2" PVC pipe from now on.
