If you have a small area place large rocks or bricks around plants they will absorb the sun’s warmth during the day and keep the plants warm at night.

Works well for small area, but I have 2,500 ft² with woven plastic ground cover, and about an acre and a half total garden area, with about half of that in wheat for flour and chickens.

LOL Rocks are a novelty here on the ‘sand hill’. Most of the rocks you will find around here were brought in by the Indians for ceremony, utensils or tools, so they are few and far between.
