It’s Spring and I know you’re ready to get out there and plant since it’s sunny (wait… now it’s cold and raining…. wait! It’s sunny again… wait… ), but some vegetables won’t be happy (and grow into incredibly prolific tomato producers – yes, I’m talking to you, tomato fanatics) if you don’t protect them until night temperatures warm up consistently to 50 degrees and above.
This doesn’t mean you can’t plant them right away – you can! But you should avail yourself of several excellent tools that allow you to get them in the ground and also keep them warm and happy. Most of us at Swansons swear by these products so we can plant our warm-season vegetables earlier and encourage larger, stronger plants and better harvests.
Note: If you don’t plan on planting your tomatoes immediately, we recommend you bring them inside each night until you plant them, then protect them outside after planting.
Here are two great protection options. At the end of this post, you can also find a quick comparison and links to more information about growing warm-season vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, and squash!
Option 1: Insulated Plant Protector
