this thing REALLY works well ($114 Amazon) – commercial thermostat, 3 heaters, temp logger, Use this green “tent” for all the early spring stuff we start in the house germinator (tomatoes, pumpkins etc) just set on the lawn next to the patch, while I do the spring patch preparation, including an area the size of the tent (7x15) tilled for planting. Then move it with the potted plants to the tilled patch area – get everybody used to the new digs, watch the planting hill temperature over cables and plant the #1 seedlings (in opposite directions), and a week later the number 2’s side by side #1s. From there, it’s a race as to who gets culled over the ensuing weeks. Meanwhile #3’s and # 4’s started over next 2 weeks to replace any losses along the way. I think this assures I’ll have 2 vines for the summer, almost no matter HOW many I step on.
