Wind Damage - Seedlings

‎05-20-2021 03:43 AM

The wind has been rough on seedlings. I noticed at the community garden one plot had stakes around plants.  Wrapped around stakes was saran wrap.  I first thought it might be to gather more heat from sun for plants but maybe its a wind break.  Any insight?  My cucumber plant broken off and need to replace.

@Twins Mom , it may be to deter critters from foraging.  S

Do you have deer in the area?  We have a fenced garden, but left some flats of seedlings on the porch.  One flat of cabbage  made a tasty midnight snack for one deer who climbed two steps to the porch.
