Well it was worth the try planting early. Frosty tomatoes! Didn't have enough cloaches for all. (lemmy.world)

Alternative: buy a non-woven crop cover. I've bought a stupidly massive one - 12m x 50m (39 x 164 feet) - for 95 Euro (~100 USD) shipped. That's enough to cover almost 1/6 of an acre. Even a really thin one (30g/m^2) makes a big difference for small dips below freezing.

I'll have to look into this non-woven crop cover, thank you for the tip!
