Been growing in garden. Two of the plants are portable so I can move to the shed if rain threatens. One is in too heavy a pot. What can I do with that one if rain threatens? Worried I'll just lose that plant. Thanks for any help

Cover it with some clear plastic. Use pvc pipe from the hardware store. Easy to configure / set-up / tear down. Do be sure to properly stake it into the ground. Google mini hoop house or wind tunnel, you'll get the idea.
Next year, if you put your pots on pallets and you have a pallet jack, doesn't matter how heavy or big they get, you can always easily move them. It also creates airflow around the root base which is helpful.

Thanks for the great ideas.. I was able to move it by myself against a fence and bought a clear plastic shower curtain which nailed to the fence's horizontal cross beam seems to work well.... Fingers crossed!

Great idea SAR001 this will definitely help. Lean too teepee anything like that and go out and give her a little shake now and then when you check for molds or rot. This happens overnight, you got this just be vigilant checking her.

Thats a brilliant fix. Improvising is a big part of outdoor growing
