Meanwhile save your 1 gallon milk jugs to make into a mini greenhouse for your plants. They will help plants harden off, and protect them against a late frost.

Here is how:
Cut the bottom off. Then cut a door on the side. You can make it smaller than what I did, then enlarge it as the plant grows. A dowel through the top and into the soil will prevent the jug from blowing away.

Place the jug so that the door faces east. The plant inside will get enough light while hardening off, yet protected against the elements.
