I planted 115 plants today...59 tomato and 56 pepper plants. I still have squash, zucchini, eggplants, cucumbers and melons to plant...and more plants to buy. It is a lot easier to plant when you've lost over 100 pounds. Who'd have thought?

100 pounds? That is a serious diet you have been on. Congrats!

We're supposed to hit lows in the mid 30s early part of next week. Crud.
I'm gonna break out the "wall of water" protectors and plant my 'maters this weekend.

I use Wunderground and NOAA Looks like I was wrong or they changed it. Now I see a couple of lows in the upper 30s early next week .
What is this "wallof water"?
You know those popsicle tubes you buy to put in the freezer ? Wall-o-waters are a big circle of 18-24" tubes open at one end. You fill the tubes with water and they form a teepee around your plant. The water absorbs heat during the day and releases it during the night.
I've had peppers survive sleet with 'em but I just keep them for emergencies now. If you leave them out too long fire ants are attracted to the warmth and start building inside the tent.
