Oh man you sure are tough on your wheels! Even the brand new keep. $110 tow from Alamosa to bumblefuck seems like a good deal. You must be fixin’ it yourself as I would have had that towed to the garage.
As for keepin the plants from freezing, I bet @evileddy has some tips from working with our grower friend.
Yeah it's a easy fix really.. remove and replace the spacer
Friend's haul:
That looks pretty good. How many plants?
That's just one plant!
That's cool. That looks like a tall plant. I kept mine kinda short.
Greenhouse or tent with heater!
