Securing the Greenhouse

The indoor sectors were fully regulated, so I navigated past the glass threshold out onto the balcony ledge. In the planter box, a tiny green shoot was struggling against the turbulent crosswind. Exposed. Vulnerable. I assessed the surroundings and located a clean, inverted transparent plastic cup discarded on the potting bench. I lifted it with both hands, positioned it directly over the seedling, and pressed the rim half an jaypee loves garding inch down into the moist soil. The wind no longer bends the stem. It now has a stable, clear protective dome.
