Protect tender tomato and pepper transplants from late frosts with simple garden cloches made from clay pots, milk jugs, storage bins, or even chicken wire. These movable covers create a cozy microclimate, deter pests, and help young plants thrive—just vent or remove them on warm, sunny days to prevent overheating.
