Chilling Out

ronsmith100 · May 1, 2011

We are going to have a race this year (neighborhood gardeners) to see who can produce the first chip dip salsa. I'll win as I already have my tomatoes in the ground and the frosts are not finished. We have temps of 29, 24, and 26 coming up. So here is how I cheat Mother Nature. Hehehehe

This is a little 12" Early Girl already in the ground

Here is the little girl with heat sinking bottles of water hugging her close

Here she is with a clear growing dome

And with a five gallon pot over it all.

Finally sealed off with a garbage bag to keep heat from escaping the holes.

Ready for the frost tonight!!!
