We're supposed to get high winds with 50-60 mph gusts. What are ways I can protect my outdoor plants from the wind? They are sheltered only a little. I just threw some rocks around them to make the pots immobile. Hopefully they won't fly away.

I know some of you live in places with severe thunderstorms. How do you guys deal with high winds? I know some of you had windy weather recently. Please share your tips and advice.

Don't have gorilla tape. I wonder if duct tape will work. So far, the rocks are protecting the pots from flying away. Now let's just hope the plants survive the stress.
