This video will teach you how to plant warm season vegetables several weeks early in your garden by converting milk jugs into FREE GREENHOUSES. These free milk jug greenhouses can help you get your plants out earlier than your last frost date!

Warm season vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, zucchini, and cucumbers are our favorite vegetables to grow in our garden, but they're sensitive to frosts and freezes. Normally, we have to wait until our last frost date has passed to plant these vegetables in our garden safely. However, if these summer crops can be protected from light frosts and light freezes, it can allow us to get them out early. A cool garden hack to do this is to convert a used milk jug into a milk jug greenhouse. These jugs can provide frost protection, as well as block wind and hold in ground heat to insulate your plants at night. While they will not protect against hard freezes, they will allow planting of crops early if the forecast is marginal leading up to the last frost date. Using this method, I was able to plant my tomatoes 2 weeks earlier than usual by checking my forecast.
