The Winter EarthTainer "Farm" - Feb 1 - Tomatoes Alive!

rnewste · February 1, 2013

We had a significant freeze 2 weeks ago which wiped out many of my tomato plants:

But fortunately, I had wrapped one EarthTainer in a landscape blanket:

Both the JD C-Tex plant (on the right) and the WBF Solar Flare (left) appear to have survived the 27 degree night temps.

I may get lucky and have some tomatoes until Spring!

The freeze did not affect the Snow Peas:

Sugar Snap Peas in the right two 'Tainers:

Even the Celery made it through and is growing again:

Very mild Winter so far!
