“Cut the bottom out of plastic milk jugs and leave the top open.”

Yes, works. I did that when I lived in Nebraska in the late 80’s - planted my tomato plants in Mid-March. They weathered several frosts. Had nice ripe tomatoes by the 4th of July.

Last year here in Ohio we lost tomatoes and peppers that we thought we planted late enough. Might try the milk-jug green house again this year.

Do you shade the pots at all? Mulch protects the top but what about when the sun is shining on the sides of the pot?

Walter Reeves is the most famous gardener in my state. He also has his own radio show saturday mornings from 6-10am est if you would like to call him with specific lawn and garden questions.

Here are his tips for using pots in hot weather
