The day after freezing weather I decided to rush it and go ahead and put a few plants in the ground.  I used some walls of water — these covers create a microclimate that lets you plant outdoors earlier than normal.  They are a thermal mass that heats during the day and then return that heat to the plant at night.  They also protect from direct sun and wind.  I didn’t harden these plants off at all, went directly from the warm cozy house and grow lights to directly outside.  We’ll see how it works out!

It got down to 33° last night and the plants look happy this morning no problems detected.

I didn’t take a picture of the 4 additional tomatoes I planted in the raised bed in front of the house.
