So now that I have the time, I'm trying out a new device in my garden this year, the "wall o water." Pretty simple, its a plastic circle that goes around your plants. You fill each chamber with water and it creates a tee pee effect. This keeps the plant warm to around 10 degrees, or so the box says. I've decided to test it out and planted my first tomato (cherry variety) today. This is crazy because the earliest I've ever planted a tomato is a few days before Mother's Day. Will it work? Time will tell. But I have two more to set up later this week and will report back on the results. If it does work, I should have tomatos in 60 days, not bad.
