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.
