The bad news is that last week’s small delivery of tomato starts froze when the wind blew open the back door of our greenhouse in the middle of the night.

It’s way too early to plant these outdoors UNLESS you prepare your soil and set up and fill Solar Caps NOW and allow them to sit in place for a week or so to warm up the soil where you will be planting your tomato starts.
Once the soil is warm, you can briefly move each Solar Cap aside to plant and water the tomato start of your choice, then replace the Solar Cap over it and cut a 1”-long slit in the center of the plastic across the top of the Solar Cap. See a demonstration of this here.
