Tonight I had to protect some of my tomato and pepper plants from possible frost. Having run out of jars and plastic bottles I channeled MacGyver and came up with a quick way to cover up all the plants. I threaded plastic bags we had in abundance with some left-over wood and covered the plants that way. The wood kept the plastic bags from flying away fairly well so far. I figured that you can also tie the bags at the base of the plant if it’s windy, but I just bunched them up. I’d post some photos, but it’s cold and dark out. Sigh.
